Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?
The blueberries are ready when they taste good to you. Some people like them earlier for a more tart flavour.
I’m a sweet berry kind of person, so I guess I’ll try and have some patience. Thanks!
Nice!
I miss the old property where I used to live, we had a blueberry plant that was so damn big that I thought blueberry plants were considered trees. No joke, you had to climb this thing to pick anything beyond the lowest hanging berries.
My god, seriously?? I had no idea they could get so big!
I had to look it up for myself, holy crap!
Oh man, now I want to find myself a Rabbiteye variety and see how tall I can get it…
Where are you at getting them already? I just planted 6, 1 of them was legacy and the grower told me it's a late season variety. Even my early still growing flowers.
I’m in the PNW! I am also very surprised to see them so early… I thought they would be ready closer to like end of July. We have lots of very happy bees around our neighborhood and my neighbors also grow lots of fruits, so maybe that helped?
Your soil must be the perfect acidity. Mine is so alkaline still but I can grow monster flowers :)
I really lucked out with the soil in our yard! I can grow basically anything as long as I feed it some coffee grounds once a week-ish
