Here's some blueberries. Our plants are still pretty young so we don't get to many berries yet but we're super excited to have blueberries for years to come!
My blueberry bushes are easily the most productive plant in my garden. My bushes are about 4 years old and last year we got 2 gallon freezer bags full and that doesn't even count all the berries I ate straight off the plant. I also made a blueberry vinegar that tastes absolutely divine
Oh wow! How big are yours? We just planted ours last year
Two are Patriot variety, and they have both grown quite tall, about 4 feet. The other two are unknown variety because they were actually dug out of someone's yard and given to us as a gift. Those have grown more bushy I'd say about 3 feet diameter
I’ve got some too, for the first time. I planted a second bush. Didn’t realize they need two. For a big haul, I’ll do PYO at a nearby farm.
We grew blueberries for a hot minute. They love acidic soil. Keep that ph between 4-6 and they will thrive.
This is so cool. I always wanted to do this with some leftover blueberries (crushing leftover ones into some soil) but I don't have the space for a large plant/bush right now. For now I'll just stick to my couple succulents and houseplants.
That's nice, we have some blueberries too since a week :) They are still small, I'm curious what they're going to taste like
