More space for the blueberries
It was another dry and mild weekend, so I moved the blueberries. When I first planted them, I didn’t read the instructions which say that they should be planted 1.5 m apart. I also planted them too near the edge of the lawn and the edge of the greenhouse base, making it hard to net them. So they needed to be moved, and now was the perfect time.
Unfortunately I soon realised that there was no way I was going to be able to plant them 1.5 m apart. There just isn’t room. So I had to compromise. Some of the bushes are only just over a metre apart. But they do have over twice as much room as they did before I moved them.
The plants are still quite small, so they were easy to move. I carried each one over on a spade. As long as I remember to water them next year, they should be fine.
