Blueberry Planting Tips - Garden Quickie Episode 147

Its Blueberry Planting Time! Early spring and early fall are the two key times to plant our blueberry plants. As you've likely just bought yours at the store, let's focus on spring planting these beauties today!

In this Quickie, we'll look at the requirements that blueberry plants need to achieve maximum success including: soil type, pH, sun levels, location, spacing, mulching, and watering! Its a bit long for a Quickie, but we had a lot to fit in there!!

2023 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

It is like you are watching our lives 😂
I literally bought 2 plants the other day, first time ever growing them, then boom your video has just popped up!

I adopted my cousin's O'Neal Highbush Southern Blueberry who moved from SoCal to TN. I put it in a weather proofed half wine barrel. Now that it has settled in, I'm getting blueberries 2 years later. I find that pine needles as mulch is working!

Love our blueberries. We expanded to an extra 60’ row this year. Peat and pine bark soil conditioner are excellent soil amendments.

You gave an awesome lesson Jeff! I was at a nursery today and almost bought 3 plants. But, it dawned on me that I wasn't prepared for them ahead of time. It was 3 hours round trip. So maybe next year. Enjoyed, take care!

I love my blue berry bushes. Can’t wait until they grow bigger for me. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

[jimmcdowell]

Jeff, I don’t grow blueberries, but over winter I took in countless videos on gardening. YOU da man!

[kristin]

we are so lucky the property we bought has lots of wild blueberries in our backyard and these are low bushes, and on our side of our house we have d high bushes, but we still bought one, those that are big berry kind ...❤

You are great at keeping what you say simple and clear. Why not start a "Gardening for Kids" channel?

Hi Jeff. Thanks for this video. I decided to wait to do the blueberries. I'm only a beginner, and this might sound weird, but I'm excited, nervous, and overwhelmed with the veggies I have started now. But then again, since it takes a while to mature. Oh, I don't know. I'll let ya know if I do. I saved this video in case. Thanks honey Take care❤

Hello Jeff ! Do you have a video showing how you root the blueberry cuttings ? Thanks a bunch !

[Joseph_Dredd]

Oooh perfect timing...Pellet elemental sulphur..Just what I need.

[landonjanda]

Found my new videos thank you so much!

We’ve had issues with growing new blueberry bushes on our property. I was watching a blueberry farmer that said he put pine bark mulch in the planting hole With all his plants. So we tried that with our new bushes and so far they are looking great. I hope it continues. He also said that down here in the deep south they seem to do better with a little bit of afternoon shade so we took that into consideration as well. We have one large bush that was here when we bought the property thank goodness. It has produced like crazy so I know we can grow them here. I just haven’t been able to.

Great advice. I planted my blueberries (Chippewa) last week. Unfortunately I failed to free up the roots. I hope they do well.🤞

[jonathanhaslar]

Do you have a video on how to do the cuttings? I didn't know you could do that with blueberries!

[marley]

So, i can plant blueberry in a pot, good to know. Thanks

[Hestia_of_hearth]

I bought 7 plants and i want the best possible growth

[myrustygarden]

Excellent advice as always but you didn’t put straw on top 😂 is this one of the times you don’t use it? Have a fabulous weekend enjoy the sunshine, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

[emylytle]

I have 4 potted blueberries and only two left I’m trying to keep the two live but when the heat wave comes again I’m worried. I would really like to know if I should fertilize them now zone 9, thank you Jeff. I just love blueberries ♥️😊👩‍🌾
