For blueberries get a highbush version cold hardy for your area. Dig
a hole 2-3 times as big as the plant, at least 1 - 1 1/2 feet deep and
1 1/2 feet wide if it's a tiny plant, fill it with 2/3 peat moss, 1/3
your soil. Blueberries are either early, mid, or late season
bloomers. For maximum yield, get 2 that bloom in the same part of the
season (for cross-pollination). For maximum picking time, get some
early, some mid and some late. Blueberries like to be mulched.

Hello All:
I live in the south eastern part of Ontario. Can anyone tell me how
to grow raspberries and blueberries? I heard that you had to have
more than one plant in order for them to survive. Is this true? If
so, which two do I need? Are there male and female plants or is that
a dumb questions? (hey, they have male and female plugs, why not
plants?????) Also, when is the best time to plant them? Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks
