    Easy To Grow Berries

    By Stacy 70 Comments

    Berries are my FAVORITE fruit. I could eat them all day every day. And there's nothing better than eating one freshly picked that is warm from the sun. Even if you don't have a large yard or garden, or even a yard at all, you can grow them thanks to Bushel and Berry®! These easy to grow berries are perfect for a patio or porch. I received a blackberry, raspberry, and two different varieties of blueberries. They are blooming right now and I can't wait for later this summer when I can pick some berries :)

    This post is sponsored by Bushel and Berry®. All ideas and opinions are 100% mine :)

     

    Perfect For the Patio!

    Instead of the patio, I put my plants in with my raised bed herb garden. I nestled them by the bench since the crate of mint seemed lonely.

     

    Easy To Grow Berries!

    I decided to put my Bushel and Berry® plants in some cement planters I had on hand and a crate to match the one that the mint is growing in. Make sure your berry plants have good drainage and plenty of sun.

    They are the perfect addition to my secret herb garden!

     

    Thornless and Self-pollinating!

    Not only are all 9 varieties thornless (making it easy for kids to grow and help), but they are also self pollinating. They are compact plants that don't get as large as other varieties making them perfect for containers. It's never been easier to grow your own berries!

    They are available to buy in lots of nurseries in the US and Canada. Even my cute local nursery in my tiny town carries them. But they go fast! You can check their website and see all the places that carry them in your area.

     

     

    Giveaway!

    It's about to be someone's lucky day though because Bushel and Berry® Is giving away 3 of their easy to grow berries! Enter below using the Rafflecopter widget.

      the first recipe I learned, when I was around 9 years old, is STILL my most favorite recipe...I got a serving of a strawberry Lazy Man Pie, that my Grandmother had made and I fell in love with that dessert! I am 62 and it's still my most favorite dessert! I asked her the recipe and she told me...I had no pen and paper so I kept repeating the recipe to all during the visit and on the way home....I made that pie the next day for the first of many, many times thru-out my life! It's easy, quick and sooo delicious! It can be served with ice cream on top or plain, either way is delicious...it's BEST baked in an iron skillet for the crust to be the best possible...melt 1.5 sticks of real butter in the bottom of an iron skillet...cut fresh fruit into bite size pieces and cover with sugar...you'll need 1,5 to 2 cups of fruit with the sugar juice included., set aside to let the sugar dissolve and make a juice...in another bowl mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk until smooth,,,,pour the flour mixture over the melted butter into the frying pan but don't mix together...take your juicy sugared berries/fruit and pour half in the middle of the pan over the batter but, again don't mix... then dot the remaining fruit by spoonfuls around the edges of the pan - Grandmother just dumped her fruit in the middle but I like to have fruit in every bite. Bake at 350* until browned and batter is well done in the middle. Deeeeelicious warm or cold and served with or without ice cream!!! My fast go-to dessert to serve a surprise visitor or a planned meal dessert. Enjoy!!!

      I love raspberries! It’s funny, but one summer when I was a kid my mom bought strawberry popsicles, strawberry kool-aid, strawberry jello, and I overdosed on fake strawberry flavor and didn’t eat any strawberries for years because I thought that’s what it tasted like. I didn’t eat them for years. As an adult, I tried fresh strawberries again and forgot how great real ones taste. Oh, the stubbornness of being a kid, sigh. Thanks for the giveaway.

      I love my berry cobblers probably the best way..but I've never seen a berry yet that I don't like eating all by itself, either. I grew up in Alabama, and we had huge bushes of blackberries.. I would devour those, although my mom wanted them for cobblers.

It would be amazing to be able to pick fresh blueberries, your garden looks amazing. Love your cement pots, it will be perfect when they start producing next to the sitting bench, you'll be able to just sit, relax and have a feast!
