Bigger Harvest for Blueberries

Did you know blueberries have best friends in the garden? 🫐✨ Companion planting can help improve growth, attract pollinators, and even deter pests! Here are some of the best plants to grow alongside your blueberries:

🌱 Azaleas & Rhododendrons – Love the same acidic soil!

🌱 Thyme & Chives – Repel pests while attracting pollinators.

🌱 Strawberries – A great low-growing companion that won’t compete for nutrients.

🚫 Avoid planting blueberries near cabbage, tomatoes, or potatoes—they don’t get along!

Are you growing blueberries this season? What’s planted next to yours? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

... Read moreCompanion planting is a gardening technique that involves growing different plants in proximity for mutual benefit. By selecting the right companions, gardeners can enhance biodiversity, encourage beneficial insects, and improve soil health. For blueberries, consider pairing them with plants like azaleas and rhododendrons, which prefer similar acidic soils, promoting a healthier environment for both. Herbs such as thyme and chives are not only edible but help deter pests while attracting beneficial pollinators, creating a thriving ecosystem in your garden. Strawberries are another excellent companion due to their low growth habit, minimizing competition for nutrients. Conversely, avoid planting blueberries near cabbage, tomatoes, or potatoes, as these plants can hinder blueberry development. Stay informed about the needs of your plants, and don't hesitate to experiment with combinations that work best for your specific garden conditions! Share your experiences in the comments and let's grow our gardens together!

You would probably assume that our capybaras get tons of fresh fruit right? Not quite! Capybaras, like their close cousin the guinea pig, shouldn’t have too much sugar in their diet! They primarily eat grass and other vegetation. We give fruit sparingly as a treat and enrichment! #capy
