Anderson's is having a sale on blueberry plants: they are fifteen bucks. A gardening expert at the store ensured me that several of the varietals are appropriate for containers. Not so convinced. From what I understand, blueberries are pretty fickle; they want acidic soil that drains well and can't dry out. Though I would only love to pick some blueberries off a homegrown bush, I declined to purchase (WHAT?!-- i don't think I ever decline). The reason: San Diego is just too darn hot in the summer to keep it constantly moist. Sadly, I will wait until the day I have drip irrigation.
On a separate note, my amaryllis has finally started growing. What the heck? The paperwhites already flowered! I expect the bulb will flower in 10 days.
What else is happening? Well, an ant farm shacked up in my pomegranate. I discovered this when I gave the plant a soaking this morning. I haven't decided what action to take. I suppose I can just douse the plant everyday until the ants give up. Has anyone dealt with this problem?
