More Blueberry Plants

I am unintentionally starting a collection of blueberry plants. I am not on the road to hoarding blueberry plants (although, another person would think I am), but I am beginning to accumulate several blueberry plants.

Several years ago, when I first decided that I wanted to start growing my own blueberries, I purchased several plants, in which the following three blueberry variety survived: St. Cloud, Northland, and Bluecrop. Those three are still alive this spring (and producing fruit) and are planted in pots (see the pictures above). Then last year at the end of summer, on a whim, I went to a local hardware/home store and found two blueberry plants on clearance. I couldn't say no, even though one was missing a tag and I have no idea what variety it was. Then this spring, I purchased three more plants, where I got two for 50% off. So I think I have a total of eight blueberry plants. Of the eight, only two are the same variety; thus I have seven different types of blueberry plants.

I am planting the most recent blueberry plants I purchased into the ground. The two I purchased last year were planted into the ground and survived the winter (the unknown variety even has fruit on it). So far the plants seem to be doing fine. I might move those two plants this spring (it's summer but still feels like a lousy spring) to a sunnier spot. Overall, I am hoping that they will all do well in the ground. I'm always worried about my soil not being acidic enough, but I think I can always amend my soil.

Okay, no more blueberry plants. But I'm not making any promises.
