Treated right, blueberries will reward you with heavy crops of delicious, dusky berries.

I live in Calgary, Canada and we have 2 strawberry plants that haven't grown berries at all, maybe they were buried too deeply. We also have a blueberry plant that hasn't grown any fruit, likely because the soil is not acidic enough.
My parents don't think it is worth it to get soil acidifier for one plant. Do you think it is worth it? I might grow regular veggies in that patch so I don't know if they can grow in acidic soil that can make blueberry grow.
MANY tHANKS
I hope it grows in the Philippines 😉
Ben can we please have a update on your blueberry plants in containers
cool video thanks have just planted some at the start of the year 5 different ones so will see how I get on new to the planting but loving it keep growing everyone
The best blueberry crops I have ever grown I used cow manure. I am not alone in this as someone tipped me off. You should check it out.
I’m recently got really really into gardening and Iv got a big selection so far… 2 types of blueberry, lettuce, goji, tomatoes and potatoes.
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong with the blueberries tho as they are not swelling as quick as I thought 1 plant has a lot smaller berries which are now really really purple but quite small and the other are alot bigger but not very purple at all. They are both in a planter full of acidic soil.
I'm a bit worried about mine this year. The trees are loaded but I sprayed them with neem oil to keep bugs off and now they're looking like a weird color. They look orange now instead of green to blue. I hope I didn't destroy them with neem oil. I never seen my blueberries turn orange/pink before. Usually they go from green to a light pink to the dark blue. Never orange. Hope they turn blue. They're loaded & would be a shame
Are Blueberry bushes happy to be planted closely & clipped into a 1m high hedge, or is that approach likely to be detrimental to fruit production & maximum yield?
We just started our blueberry plants this season here in NY.
EXCITED to start having our own crop.
We have Elliot , late season, and Patriot, early season.
I'm wanting to get mid season soon.
Can you help I have 2plants but not fruiting what could I be doing wrong please and thank you
I love picking blueberries !
I got a huge amount of ants in my room but I was germinating mint in my room and getting ready to plant it outside. When the mint started growing, I didn’t see any ants in my room anymore though. And even though I don’t have the mint in my room anymore I rarely see any ants in my room anymore. Many bugs and garden pests like squirrels and birds hate any type of mint. Peppermint probably works the best. If u are having problems with bugs in ur house, don’t bother buying anything expensive to get rid of them. Grow some sort of mint in a small pot in ur house. Mint is super easy to grow and germinates fast. Or if u wanna protect ur outdoor garden, grow some mint in a small container and put it next to ur plants. U can always just grow it next to the plant u wish to protect but I like just having it in a small container or grow bag so I can move it around if I want it next to a different plant. Mint is perennial plant so luckily it’ll grow back next year so it can protect ur plants again. And mint attracts pollinators as well so if one of ur plants needs more pollination u can put the mint next to it to help attract pollinators. Catnip is also a type of mint plant that pests hate and pollinators are attracted to. Catnip is much taller than regular mint. And it’s purple and very pretty and can survive cool weather more and is known for growing like a weed.
I'm looking at Tophat variety to plant in planters

Ive just planted a duke and bluecrop blueberry bushes..in summer can i feed these with concentrated seaweed fertiliser.
Hi mate, thanks so much just got some blueberries that I am about to pot. Quick question re the feeding organic fertiliser, do you have a video on what to use abd how to apply this? I'd preferably like to make my own. Thank you
Are you sure you're growing Blueberries and not bilberries though?
Been growing in Southern California, and our favorites are Jellybean and Peach Sorbet. Super sweet and prolific. And they don’t require a ton of chill hours!
Thanks. A very tempting crop and sound economics. I once grew a blueberry bush in my neutral soil by filling its large planting hole with leaf mould and composted oak saw dust. It grew and bore some fruit but never really thrived. My sister used a not as big as I would have expected plant pot with bagged ericaceous compost and had berry yields that far exceeded mine by its second summer. I would definitely use a large pot if I try again.
2nd year with blue razz and pink lemonade varieties, hoping to see berries this year
Gonna try blueberries this year. Had a great deal of success with blackberries. The critters are engenious. One bird would just pounce on the netting to push it down. Little bastards would only nibble and ruin every ripe berry. Kept the birds and squirrels fed all summer long… lol
