"Growing berries can be a rewarding experience; however, growing them on the Oregon Coast presents some unique challenges. You can grow delicious blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwifruit, table grapes, gooseberries, currants, and other berries provided you select cultivars (varieties) that are adapted to the coast region, and you establish and manage your plants to grow well and stay healthy."

"The coastal climate of Oregon offers both opportunities and challenges for home vegetable gardeners. Mild temperatures, ample rainfall and cool summers support many crops, especially those that thrive in cooler conditions. Wind, fog and limited sunlight mean variety selection and protection are important."

Lincoln County Master Gardener™ Sally Reill (with help from local Master Gardeners Sharon Busby and Carita Edson) compiled the ultimate grower's guide which has recently been promoted as an OSU Extension Catalog timeless classic. Click on the link below to read the detailed article.
