Recap

• Prepare site for blueberries.
• Decide what kind of planting stock you want, order it from the nursery and when it arrives, inspect it before you get ready to plant.
• If you can't plant right away, heel the plants in or place them in a sawdust bed.
• Soak the peatmoss the night before to get it nice and moist for mixing with the soil. Prepare the hole.  Dig your hole out and mix with moistened peatmoss.
• Make sure the roots are not bound and put the plant in the hole, spreading out the roots over a slight mound.
• Water the plants in.  In fact, it's good to have an irrigation source close by so you can make sure to provide water all season long.
• If you follow these steps in planting your blueberries, the plants should produce bountiful crops for many years to come.
