Pot Up Fruits and Vegetables Now, Feast All Summer

Before planting, set pots on saucers to protect paving from water stains, and fill them with top-quality organic potting soil that contains boosters and conditioners, such as mushroom compost, worm castings, and oyster-shell lime. For acid lovers, like blueberries, try an organic azalea-and-camellia mix.

Shown: 'Sunshine Blue' Blueberries. This cold-hardy variety has a compact, upright habit with blue-green foliage that turns burgundy. The medium-size fruit is sweet and ready to harvest from June onward. Grows up to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide; requires full sun.
