I use a soccer goal frames to net my berries that are next to my house. I got one for free and it worked so well I bought another one. You can slide it around and even stand under it and add any kind of netting or fabric to keep pest and weather out 😊

Great information! I cringed when you "picked" those berries though. In order to obtain the sweetest, most ripe berries you tickle them. The ones that fall into your hand are at the perfectly ripened stage and will be the sweetest. If you have to pull it from the bush, it's not fully ripe - even though it appears perfectly blue.

Oh my gosh. My son brought me a Meyer lemon for mother's day! I'm so excited!!

We have great conditions for blueberries here in NH and my kids love them. You just convinced me to put them on the list for next year.

last year i added the bushel and berry collection to my garden. I have berry plants hanging off everywhere. these varieties seem to grow and produce very well in small pots as they were designed and you can hang them anywhere off your garden or the house. when you are limited on space something like this is amazing. it can be hard to find a big enough hanging planter for a permanent home but i use 14 inch and i plan to root prune every few years as needed. when you have big wooden posts in your garden like you do they are perfect for hanging off that utilizing more vertical space and for people with deer issues you can just hang them to high for the deer.

Just wanted to share about my blueberries, they are over 10 years old, we build a neted enclosure around them to protect from birds...its a bit crowded, 3 blueberries and one BlackBerry, they all like the acidic soil from the pines growing near by, we through pine cones, small sticks and pine needles for mulch in there, plus I prune them each winter. I know one variety is ( Duke), the other I think Jersey something...i can't remember we live in PA

One of my favorite plants. My link lemonade is swelling up just now, started picking a few this morning. Others are done for the season and others are still coming along. Couldn't agree with this video more.

You can plant Early, Mid and Late Season Rabbiteye Varieties to extend your season even further.

The way for me to (more than) double my harvest is to pick them at the first blush of color and let them ripen indoors. If I let them ripen on the bush, the birds will get EVERY. LAST. BERRY. I can hear mockingbirds out there right now as I write this. I have tried netting and various completely useless scare methods, but nothing works like getting the berries while I can.

Great video Anthony and thank you for sharing. Maybe you could do a side video in caring for them. We are heading into Winter from Autumn here in Melbourne Australia and l have noticed one variety of blueberries l have, has had all leaves change to a reddish colour. I am confident with my soil and fertilizer but there are mixed answers on the internet about this being normal for colder times to deficiency of certain minerals. I have 3 varieties but only 1 is affected by this change. All have the same soil and fertilizer. It would be nice to see a specialised video on blueberries. Best wishes Jason from Melbourne Australia.

Thank you so much for this video. You always teach me something new. I recently got a second blueberry plant and didn't realize that it wasn't a southern high bush like my first plant. Now I know I'm going to have to get another one so I can get a bountiful harvest on it when it finally flowers.

Great video! Love blueberries ❤I pulled out decorative bushes last fall and put in blueberries 🫐 They are beautiful shrubs & I get to enjoy the harvest 😋

In central GA, zone 8a, I planted two pineapple guava bushes. Originally they come from south America. They are doing great! No bugs at all, no frost damage, grows like a nice bush or you can train it like a miniature tree. The only down side is it takes 5 or more years to begin bearing tasty pineapple guavas, and if you want, the flowers are like cotton candy to eat. I have one over grown bush needing pruning. I am thinking this fall of buying bulk nursery pots, then propagate the pruned branches into new bushes to sell next late spring. If this is successful, I plan to go to Smiley's flea market in south Macon to sell them in nice planters so I can get more gardening equipment. This is a fantastic bush!

A friend gave me a bunch of starts from her blueberry bushes. She has a number of different kinds but no idea which varieties! I can't wait for them to grow to a size where they will start producing! My neighbor across the street has two huge bushes that are over 20 years old. They get buckets and buckets from them! Thank you for all of your tips! I'll know which kinds of blueberries to fill in with in the future!

Great timing. Im getting a blueberry bush today. I will be putting it in a container, so this was a great video for me to see. Thanks.

oh great news i will be growing blueberries when my 2 plants come in
