Hey Garden Homies, sorry for the re-upload. The end of the original video was corrupted so I fixed it and replaced it with this one. Same video, nothing except the final 8 seconds has been changed.
My first blueberry died and I’m not sure what I did wrong and now I have another two shrubs and one is doing good and the other is not 😔 so ur video will help me cuz I didn’t do the removal of the old dirt/soil. I have mine in barrel and not sure it will be ok thanks for so informative series. 🙏🏻👍👍
Are they suppose to be in a partly shade or full sun, I have mine in partly shade and in a bucket and barrel, need help I already lost one and it’s too hot here zone 9, 103 🥵
It's a great job, the blueberry plant is really healthy. Bravo ;-) . I would have just a small suggestion, it is to replace the straw by needles or bark of pines, so during waterings, water and ground acidify.
Brilliantly positive video. I must confess, I've given up hope this year. I have two blueberries in pots, and it seems that no matter how much I try, those little guys just don't want to be in my garden :(
Just in time. Abandoned my blue berry bushes last year to build a number of raised beds. This year pulled out ten from a back fence area in heavy weeds. Only noticed them by the flowering so I should have a few berry's this year. Grandkids are grown and visit less so the berry's are all mine.
I just planted 2 x Brightwell and 1 x Misty Blueberries. It's been a few days and while I've watched nervously they seem ok so far! Fingers crossed I don't kill them, pH is not my favourite topic. I wouldn't have been brave enough to spend the money without you! Thank you so so much! 💖😁
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms umm its early spring... they are very little so I think they'll grow during the warm weather? Or do I have it backwards. Short answer - no clue 😂
Im going to dig mine up and try this. It was huge and produced a lot of fruit for two years and then Bammm!!! It looks as if it died. I dont know what hsppened to it 😢 I'll give this a shot though...praying ❤
LUCKY🍀YOU!!! Dang! I sure wish I had a volunteer blueberry seedling on my property... I have 3 teeny tiny, itty-bitty blueberry "plants" that I am losing the daily battle to keep them alive!! 🥺 Pretty sure I am over watering them 🤔😖😔
As usual this was inspiring. I mulch around my blueberry with some left over spruce needles left behind from my Christmas tree (I always hang on to a bit for the acid loving plants and use as part of the mulch). Mine is still young and no berries yet but that's o.k. my raspberries are keeping me busy :)
I have a blueberry tree that is about one year old from a big nursery store. They produce fruit, but all of a sudden in late May/early June all the fruit, just shriveled up! Same goes for my cranberries and raspberries and peaches. I didn’t use any amenities. I can’t explain what caused the snafu! The leaves look fairly healthy it’s just all the fruit shriveled up. I added some alfalfa seed meal. Waited a week. And then added some lime and calcium. The leaves look fantastic! But none of it is you yielding any fruit. What say you?
So, the squirrels cropped my blueberries last year. I built a fruit cage and transplanted 4 of them. They were 7 feet tall and had root balls 3 feet in diameter. All 4 lived and I had a bumper crop of blueberries. The squirrels were not pleased. 😂 Thanks for the sulfur tip!. Could I use that around established blueberries? Love your channel!!
One of my blueberry plants in container has very droopy leaves with brown all along the edges. Trying to determine if it’s heat/drought stress or if I’ve been overwatering to try to keep it safe in the heat.
Hey Joe, from Springfield Missouri studio said it was a year ago and you said you have a gun into that area in a few years. How big is your garden? Do you have a video of what the garden size of you have?
Hey. I had a squirrel or some pest dig up one of my blueberries and broke off the root. I saved it on time but now I need to re-root it. Do you have any ideas in how I can I can that? It's only about 6 inches tall as I'd been growing it from about an inch tall over the last year. I was so proud of its growth and I'm distraught to have found it this morning. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have a single blueberry plant for two years and it still hasn't borne any fruit? Someone mentioned that I needed two plants but as your video shows, you've only planted one? Any advice would be much appreciated 🙂
Hey Berni, Blueberry Bushes are self-fertile, meaning you only need one to get berries. However, it is suggested to get bigger and more berries to have more than one plant. If you're not getting berries, its almost always pH, nutrition, or moisture.
I have a wild blackberry bush that i've been trying to actually kill for the past few years because i didnt know what it was... i let it go this year... and i got delicious berries. going to try to relocate it for next year. would it be better to relocate it this fall? or should i wait for the spring to do it? any advice?
Can you tell me how harmful it is when an animal ate your blueberry bush to the ground in 0 degree weather, end of December? It was 2 feet tall, first year i planted it. Its gone today when I checked 😥
Your vids are always at perfect timing.. I am looking at a new spot to put a good bunch of blueberries raspberries strawberries and asparagus as I have no more room in my garden. it is high and dry and a good spot. The main concern is available light . The area will be shaded most of the morning till around 11am then full sun the rest of the day. also Jeff do you have types of berries you prefer for both growing and obviously eating??
Question - I have a row of (relocated) 12 bushes that last year I had dug up, as they were too close to an arborvitae row that was invading and suffocating their roots. This winter, I trimmed out dead wood and most have a few taller shoots that are older with some buds, but none that are super healthy. And, most do not have any younger shoots.. Do you think I should trim ALL of them down to the ground with the hopes of reinvigorating the whole plant, or leave a couple old ones?
Have you noticed that every group of three phrases you speak in every single one of your videos follow the same pattern of musical notes? Two phrases that end up, followed by a third that ends down. Lol. Try to mix it up a little! Good videos though.
Hey Garden Homies, sorry for the re-upload. The end of the original video was corrupted so I fixed it and replaced it with this one. Same video, nothing except the final 8 seconds has been changed.
I thought the original was just a 'blooper' :D
Perfect timing. I have to repot a couple of blueberries in my garden. Thanks for the tips!
Those darn video corrupters!!👎

@@MsSamchester I need to make blooper reels, LOL
I liked the 8 second black-out at the end... made me think of the Sopranos ending. Also gives you just enough time to reflect on your life choices.
I know!! I kinda wanted to keep it, LOL!
I thought the "all is not lost!" at the end was Freudian. Your actions are always positive and hope giving. I am greatful for it.
Thanks so much! :-)
Good job , My 2 small blues gave me a ton of Blue berry's this year again . I freeze them and use them in waffles I make for my Gson ,
Its amazing how productive they can be! :-)
Everything they produce is educational and very worth watching no matter where you live in the world.
:-)
That makes me want to grow a blueberry plant in a bucket!!
You CAN Mike....just make sure it's a BIG bucket!! LOL
Are they suppose to be in a partly shade or full sun, I have mine in partly shade and in a bucket and barrel, need help I already lost one and it’s too hot here zone 9, 103 🥵
@@emylytle5409 hey Emy, Blueberry bushes are a full-sun plant.
Jeff, I placed the barrel in full sun and it got burn and all of it died on me 😩😔
Great info! Thank you!
Cheers Janet, appreciate the support!
I bought a blue berry bare root plant from Aldi. It produced one blue berry. I hope to pamper it to get more next year. Thanks for the tips
Best of luck Shirley. Once its established, you should expect more bounty for sure!

Great idea!
hey guys do spruce needles offer the same acidic value as pine???
@@sircorkysriley4904 Spruce, Pine, and Fir have all acted the same for me in the past. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms good we have lots of spruce needles so I will mulch with them on the blueberries instead of straw
@@sircorkysriley4904 so awesome! Do you guys have a big property?
Brilliantly positive video. I must confess, I've given up hope this year. I have two blueberries in pots, and it seems that no matter how much I try, those little guys just don't want to be in my garden :(
Argghh...it totally happens. Been there more times than once guys!

I'll try

Hey right on Kerri... Are they actively growing now? Or dormant
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms umm its early spring... they are very little so I think they'll grow during the warm weather? Or do I have it backwards. Short answer - no clue 😂
It's interesting
thank you for
and sharing your beautiful vlog
From Seoul Korea 🇰🇷
I have a blackberry plant, holding off til I find a nice piece of forest for him to live in.
Love it! :-)
Great save Jeff, and lucky find!!!
Thanks buddy! I'm going to take cuttings from him and complete the circle!!
Thanks again Jeff, great video.
Cheers Matt, hope the weekend was good man.
Im going to dig mine up and try this. It was huge and produced a lot of fruit for two years and then Bammm!!! It looks as if it died. I dont know what hsppened to it 😢 I'll give this a shot though...praying ❤
Remember not to do this too close to your fall frost date though/ 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms OH, should I wait until Spring then? I think we still have maybe 2 months before first frost and still some warm weather days
LUCKY🍀YOU!!! Dang! I sure wish I had a volunteer blueberry seedling on my property... I have 3 teeny tiny, itty-bitty blueberry "plants" that I am losing the daily battle to keep them alive!! 🥺 Pretty sure I am over watering them 🤔😖😔
I totally agree....super lucky!! More details about your plants though...let's fix this!
Never water unless the potting mix is dry. If it's cool weather then they won't need it anyway.
Thank you 👍
Cheers!
This is my fave video that you have done. 🙂

Sorry to hear that Riss. If there are active roots still attached, simply plant up in some fresh potting soil ensuring any shoots stay above ground.
What the best way to plant them from seeds?
Start them indoors or in a sheltered environment in individual cells or small pots.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks
Gotta save the blueberries....all that matters are the blueberries!

I live in an apartment and I'm growing fruits and vegetables and herbs but now I have a gnat infestation what do I do
Gnats are the worst Mayra. Gotta break their cycle. Sticky traps, eliminate exposed, damp soil, and even hydrogen peroxide sprays...
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you so much
@@Mayrahernandez-yz4go Cheers Mayra! :-)
If you can get a sundew plant that will help. The gnats will stick to it.
I want some of those colored shoe strings 🤪
They are also reflective AND they glow in the dark!!

I'd shoot for spring when its actively growing. They grow so fast, it'll catch up even the early season delay/transplanting!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!
@@thatjerseyb can't wait to hear about the outcome and future harvest!
Stay safe im your new subscriber Godbless

I've seen them come back to life from just a stump Ale.....tough though....too far down will definitely kill it....especially in the winter.

For the berries I think you'll be ok. All day sun is best, but getting that last 70% of the rest of the day? Should be ok!
My entire property is FILLED with Blueberries, strawberrys and thorny Blackberries
