How to Grow a Blueberry Bush

Linda here is what I found on the Southern High bush: https://www.fourwindsgrowers.com/pdfs/blueberry_information.pdf

This was great chickadoodles. I saved it of course.

It's easy.

Layering is one of the easiest ways to root. Just pull a low limb to the ground scrape about an inch of the outer bark off. Just until you see green. put a little rooting hormone on it cover it with soil and put a rock on it. In a few weeks it will have roots on it. With that method the new plant will be a clone of the mother. You can also air layer. Scrape the outer bark off and wrap some moist sphagnum moss around it. Then, wrap it it tightly with plastic wrap and wrap that with aluminum foil to keep the light out. That will root in a few weeks. The seed method may or may not produce a good blueberry bush
 
Went on our evening walk again, this time we armed ourselves with, and i might be wrong about this one, the greatest Finnish invention in berry picking, berry pickers!

Took 10 minutes extra on our walk to fill the same bucket I posted a picture of earlier (if you can call it a bucket). These do collect some leaves and raw berries though, so you'll need to go through them before freezing them.
