Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Might want to try garden huckleberries instead. Apparently they're
grown as an annual (just planted mine) and they are (according to the
seed packet) a good substitute for blueberries. I've certainly heard
endless references to huckleberry pie, so I'm willing to gamble a
bit. Since its a plant you transplant out after all danger of frost
has passed, it certainly sounds like something that would thrive in a
tropical environment.

Good luck,
Chris OE
