The south side of our house is the exterior wall of our garage. There
are no windows, and the edge of the property line is too close to put a
lean to greenhouse or anything like that on there. Last year I tried
establishing a blueberry hedge up pretty close to the house there. I used
peat, coffee grounds, a small amount of aluminum sulfate mixed in to the
soil, plus a slow release acidifier. (soil is rather alkaline here) I
tried watering every day, but there was simply no rain for a couple of
months, and it was so hot and dry. Only 1 or 2 plants made it out of 6 or
7. I am going to take the healthiest plant and put it in a pot. This is
actually the first time I've tried growing blueberries and had one live
more than 6 months. However, I think that spot would be better used for
something else.

Can anyone suggest something that is heat and light loving, which could
be productive in such a spot? It will essentially get direct sunlight all
day long, and the spot can really concentrate heat from the sun in spring
and fall. Thanks!
