About Can you grow berry bushes in Colorado Springs

Can you grow berry bushes in Colorado Springs?
And how? We want to grow some berry bushes at our house, but those of you that live in Colorado know that there are quite a few plants that aren't compatible with the climate, elevation, etc. Could you also mention what types work best? Thanks!

: Colorado's climate and soil limit the kinds of berries that can be grown successfully here. Red and yellow raspberries are recommended. Also, currants, gooseberries and Jostaberries grow here. For more information on growing raspberries in Colorado please see http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/garden/07001.html For the other berries please see http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/garden/07005.html Here is a personl note about growing blueberries. They grow very well in containers (just make sure they are large enough) and blueberries like acidic soil so you can feed and water with Miracid by Miraclegro Miracid is a water soluble, inorganic fertilizer made by the Miracle Gro company. Recently, it was renamed Miracle Gro for Azalea and Camellias, but it remains useful for acid-loving plants in general, as well as a means to http://wiki.bonsaitalk.com/index.php/Image:Miracid.jpg Almost any garden center has it Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot... Growing blueberries should do well in Colorado high country.. Remember: All blueberries will yield a much bigger crop when paired with another variety breeders have developed a type of dwarf blueberry bush that can be successfully grown in containers. It is not recommended that you attempt to grow standard varieties of blueberries in pots, because they simply will not thrive. http://www.orchardnurserynews.com/php/caresheet_pdfs/71_blueberries_in_containers.pdf Stark Brothers of Missouri These are the fruit experts that I recommend they have a contact email and are always helpful in aswering questions.

I used to live in Colorado Springs, and worked at Olive Garden, the tips was reall good, and it was a relaxed atmosphere, beware of those on line get rich quick opinion polls, they only ask for registration fees

Try Carrabba's Italian Grill. A little better than Olive Garden.

There are several survey sites that are legit, your not going to get rich doing them though. Do not give anyone your SSN there are lots of sites out there that are legit and they do not need this info from you. Nor do you have to pay to join. I am a member of several. I have done survey savy which has a great referral program if you know people who will join you get money for surveys they complete also. I have also tried American Consumer Opinion. They pay by check in mail for all surveys, but I have not been able to complete many of their surveys. Pinecone is also great. You have to have an invitation to join though. They send one or two surveys a month. They are great though cause you will have a few days or a week to answer the survey if you don't check your email religiously. Then they send a check in the mail pronto. Surveyspot has tons of really short surveys most of which you only get an entry into a drawing. However they do have many paid surveys also. You can just go to their site everyday and answer surveys you don't have to wait for them to be emailed to you. They do some previewing of tv commercials and tv shows. I have done a couple tv shows which involved watching an hour long program (45 minutes without commercials) and answering some questions about it - with payment of $20 so that was nice. Most pay a few dollars per survey completed so it is best to use several. You also need to be a regular email checker because if you don't respond to the survey fast enough they have met their quota. I save the money til the end of year to help with xmas expenses. If you would like to give me a referral credit use the link in my profile for survey savvy and the other sites I use are listed there as well. Good Luck!
