Part 5/11:
Blueberries are highly successful in pots when planted in acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5). Using peat moss or specific soil mixes, varieties like Top Hat or Peach Sorbet remain small and prolific, yielding 3-5 pounds per plant. Their container growth allows complete soil control and easy relocation—perfect for late frosts or optimizing sunlight.
4. Lemon Trees – The Everbearing Citrus
Meer lemons are naturally semi-dwarf and produce flowers, blossoms, and fruit simultaneously. An established Meer lemon can yield 50-100 lemons annually, which can be invaluable when faced with high store prices. The move indoors during colder months and organic fertilizing simplify care, and the intoxicating scent of blooming citrus enhances any patio ambiance.
