I love gardening, but I just can't seem to enjoy replanting. To me, it feels like a form of muscle training!
Since my blueberry bushes have been growing bigger, I needed to move them into larger pots. Although I wanted to do this as soon as possible, lately it had been raining. Fortunately, it finally stopped raining this morning, so I got to work and replanted them.
Blueberries require acid soil, so I mixed three different types of soil to create the right blend. The picture below shows one of my blueberries that needed a bigger pot.
I prepared pots that are two sizes larger for each bush. Two of my blueberry bushes are three years old and started producing fruit last year. I pruned after harvesting them, and now they're starting budding. Since this was my first time pruning , I'm not sure if I did it correctly.
I really think gardening is an experiment. While taking care of our plants, we can learn what is the best work. If they don't bloom with their flowers, that means I didn’t prune them properly. I guess I'll find it out soon!
The picture below shows my youngest blueberry bush, which I'm replanting too.
This particular bush produces pink-colored blueberries. Since it's two years old, I don't think it'll bear fruit this year.
The picture below shows the finished result. I've replanted all my blueberry bushes! I really hope they all grow well and produce as much fruit as they can this year too.

I like your plants.
Thank you! I keep posting about my garden.
It wonderful that you can grow blueberries in your garden. How will you use the blueberries?
@t4up3 Thank you for reading! I envy you because you have blackberries everywhere in the UK!!! I love both and I have two blackberries in my garden too. I prefer eating fresh, but since my blueberries are still young, they don't produce so many. So, I like making jam with them. Do you like blueberries?
I do like blueberries but don't eat them too often. I haven't got a sweet tooth so rarely eat anything for dessert other than apples.
@t4up3 That's great for your health. I'd love to follow you, but I can't stand!
