Dang DD, you gunna have an orchard before your done.
Where did you get them from?
Planning on it Chris. Plums are next. Got em at Lowes Sat. They just put them out so they were'nt picked over YET
Looks good Don. Your green thumb skills are showing like your wood working skills. But you'll learn.
We have a couple of better pot mechanics than me in here. I'll let them tell you where you did wrong.
on the sticker it said plant them 4 inches from the top of the pot and plant them at the same level they were in the container they came in so I did
We built this house 11 yrs ago and shortly afterwards I planted 8 blueberry bushes. We're getting around 8 gallons of blueberries each season now. My peaches, pears and figs bit the dust.
I have access to all the blue berrys you can dig with a shovel and they need tinning . Got plums here at the house just a shovel get you some spouts . My daddy had fig trees . I thought they died with him but they are coming back from the roots . I have pears too . Never had much luck with apples . Looking good dd .
I planted 2 in pots this spring. Got them from Lowes also, look to be same size as yours. How soon should they start bearing fruit. Also any tips on fertilizing and watering??
Mine have blooms on the NOW.
I planted a dozen about 5 years ago. They produced some fruit the first year. The bushes didn't really grow much until last year.
They should make good in two years . They will have a few now .
Mine were green and had a few buds when I planted then but I figured it would take at least one season for them to aclimate and start producing fruit. There is nothing green at my house after these last 2 months. Coldest weather we have had in a long time, snow still melting from last weeks storm. But....by Thursday it is supposed to be 78 degrees and I am headed to the lake.
Thought about doing the same thing with the blueberries. My blackberries do well here. I have read somewhere that you need two varieties to propagate well - don't know. Looks like your Sago palms took a beating with the cold weather.
I thought he painted it gold.
Just showed Debbie your post and her reply was "What the heck? Where does he live? Oh, that's right, they can't grow things like we do."
He's right...The pros say you need at least two varieties when planting blueberries. This helps for two reasons: 1. cross-pollination produces a higher yieldQuote:

Try looking for any of the "rabbiteye" varieties: Woodard, Tifblue, Gardenblue, Delite, Climax, Premier, and Brightwell.
Blueberries love acidic fertilizers. Try mulching with pine bark mulch and/or peat moss.
All mine had a sticker on the back of them saying what kinds I needed to get, so I got 2 of each. Yeh, the Segos took a beating. Had them covered for awhile but they got beat down anyhow so I just took the cover off
I have Oneal and it was either Jubilee or Jersey, can't remember the 2nd type
Blueberries must have a very acidic soil to due well. PH should be 4 to 5.5. You might have to add some mineral to the soil to get a good crop when they get bigger. Just a thought. Good Luck
PS. Most garden centers have kits to check ph
I already have a soil testing kit
Good price
