Berries are commonly associated with northern climates. So are apples, peaches, and cherries. However, there are many tropical varieties that grow wild down here in zone 9 and higher. I am novicely growing a thriving peach tree, blackberries, raspberries, and three types of blueberries. They grow wight along side the citrus and aloe and I love all of it.
Don't apologize for being excited about anything in your garden. We all go a little nuts over certain things. It's the excitemenet that keeps us going; otherwise it would just be hard work!

ReplyDeleteBare root planting is great! I love it--I am president of a homeowner's association and we have done a lot of it. Less expensive and easier. Check out http://tnnursery.net for good deals. We found some there!
