I have a garden every year. as well as, a peach tree, rasberry and blueberry bushes. We grow tomatoes. squash, and a variety of peppers. We start out by planting them in bags (we make them out of weed guard or use the type tree huggers bring to the store for their groceries). You can also plant them in buckets but you must drill lots of holes in them).

You can either leave them to grow in the bags or once they start to mature put them in the ground or what we do it have a evelated garden. A few 2x6s (untreated) and a few screws.

My  last house had a pear tree. I'm not big on pears, and those weren't great, but I liked having it. But the tree was already there when I bought it.

How big do the blueberry bushes get? With the soil runoff problem if they're very big (needing more dirt to root) I'd probably have to do them in a bucket.
