Sorry you had a bad week. I appreciate the time and effort you, gardengirl, and others put into this thread.
That edible landscapes site is interesting. I think I may grow some berries in the front of some of my borders. I just ordered Wonderberry ‘Solanum Burbankii’ seeds from Baker Creek. I’m pretty excited about them. They’re an annual that produce berries the first year. Some online searches I’ve done indicate the berry may not taste that great fresh, but is really good in jams. I figure it’s worth a shot. Here’s a link:

I can’t find blueberry or raspberry plants anywhere right now. I guess I was too slow making a purchase.
Berries of any sort are not something you want to ask me about. I have lost more berry plants than I really care to mention :(
