blueberries replanted

[alice]

We are having lovely mild fall weather, so I just finished transplanting the blueberries to half barrel "pots" so that they could benefit from more substantially amended soil.  Apparently where I had them (with powdered sulfur added at planting) wasn't enough to make them happy.  Each of the six plants now has its own 1/2 barrel with a mixture of rose soil, professional grade garden soil, and peat.  I top dressed with a Microlife product for acid loving plants.  I'm saving coffee grounds, and they will each get one dose per week.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and my six blueberry plants!

Good luck! I've lived on chalk- central Texas caliche and Hampshire (England) chalk- and had little crop from potted blueberries. A gardener friend did better with the same plant. Now I'm in luck- back on acid- and while I can't have lilacs I can have azalea gardenia and blueberries.
