Any tips on BLUEBERRIES

Wish I had planted them years ago , any good info

Blueberry's like a more acidic soil PH

Paul "the Professor" would be the guy to talk to
on them.... he's an expert by now.

you can buy the LARGE bushes though and save years
of growing time

you'll want to lay them out in a straight double row
so during the fruiting stage they can be netted to prevent
the birds from gobbling them up.

mother earth news has a seed/ plant finding service

and here's the link:
Mother Earth News Seed and Plant Finder

then throw in blueberry in the search box

Nourse farms is listed and they are in western mass
i mention it because then the soils are similar
that your bushes purchased grew in

Received twenty packages of donated seeds that are raffled every year within this group I belong too. Ten of the packs are from fruit that weighed from 1300 #'s to 1500 #'s. Unsure if I am planting any this year yet.

blueberries need tons of water. They grow well in swampy areas that never dry out.

they are called slips...... not seeds

it's a good day to plant today

one of the better times and in the fourth quarter
which is perfect for taters (root crops)
