Jag, hope things are better. Don't wanna miss out on your content.cant believe someone is messing with you. You have awesome content, their just jealous.anyway am enjoying a 4 year old video about growing blue berries, do t give up thx for all you do Tim
You have the best videos on CZcams, hands down. The experiments are tremendously helpful with questions people would have. Thanks so much. I live in coastal S.C., so we have a similar growing zone.
Thank you so much! I love blueberries! Also, your photography is excellent. It was so peaceful to see shadows and sunlight dappled on the blueberry branch you filmed! In addition to the information provided...I understand that adding peat moss to soil makes the soil acidic for blueberries. Finally, it was a surprise for me to hear that blueberries love lots of sun because I used to pick them in the forest. But if I remember correctly after all, I guess I was picking them in the clearings where they got lots of sun. It was a summer tradition for my parents to take us to pick quarts and quarts of blueberries for canning, baking and eating fresh. 😁
It's not because California doesn't get cold enough. Plenty of places in California do. It's the soil...not acidic enough. I've been growing blueberries in pots in so cal for years...first in straight peat most. Now I'm mixing with perlite and that seems to work better. I fertilize with Epsoma soil acidifier/fertilizer and the blueberry bushes love it. My plants I bought a few months ago that were about 8 inches tall are now about 2 1/2 feet tall with big leaves and growing fast. I just gave them some gypsum to see if they like that too. Gypsum provides calcium to plants for strong structure.
We have old blueberry bushes on our property. They are growing in what has become a very shady spot. Today my son and his pals are cutting down all of the brush on the south side. Hopefully that will help get these old plants going again.
Thank you Daisy Creek Farms for that very informative video about blueberries,im a teacher from Philippines and i love nature too,i started to buy one and already planted in my frontyard,i hope it will survive here in our tropical region and bear fruits like i've seen on your very informative videos.Thankyou again😊😊😊
Perfect timing, I’m transplanting my bushes today and this is a new crop for me. I like the idea of doing the different varieties for extended harvesting. I needed the soil amendment info. Happy planting everyone.
I enjoy your channel. Part of my blueberry row is in a wet spot. I planted cranberries there because I thought the blueberry bush would die but both survived.
Very informative and useful knowledge -- even for home gardeners! Thanks, Jag -- appreciate you seeking out this farmer with so much experience to share.
I am happy to hear that. I find adding all these bought fertilizers very complicated... my fruit trees get chicken manure and grass mulch at the base and they produce crazy amounts of fruit
I bought a potted plant of a highbush blueberry plant and it is loaded with baby blue berries. So I wonder if it's an improved version? Because the Bush definitely isn't a year old...
All I did was just see blueberries in my local Walmart in Florida and I just bought it With my moms money) my mom was there I actually asked it for my bday
Very timely! I'm hoping to go pick blueberries next week at Underwood Family Farms in Somis (CA). I never thought to ask them what variety they grow, but this time I will. :)
I love the farm name!! Nice play on words!! I am from Orange County. I live in Washington State now and my blueberries grow very well with very little effort. My potted one even puts out a LOT of berries. That plant is for my roommates young daughter to pick and eat from. 💖💖 ...and my roommates dog who also loves to eat my blueberries!!
I'm from São PauloO-BRAZIL and here our winters are mild with less than 100 hours of sub zero cold and I have POWDERBLUE, MISTY, CLIMAX and EMERALD blueberries planted in pots in the backyard. My biggest difficulty is maintaining PH
Thanks Jag! You just made up mind! Two new berry bushes and I was debating what to do with them for two weeks now! Not anymore...I always look forward to a video from you. You are right here when I need good advice. Peace within always.
Jag - I've got about 200 plants that are more than 20 years old. You don't "pick" blueberries, you put your hand or bucket underneath a cluster and tickle or otherwise coerce the ripe berries to fall. If you develop that technique you will fill buckets faster and with predominately ripe fruit.
This was so useful compared to all the other berry videos I have seen. Explains why I couldn't get my Nelson's and Northern high bush to do much here in the bay area. Also LOVE the vinegar tip for PH. I transffered mine to pots due to ph issues in the soil, and this is an easy fix.... These backyard garderners need to up their game a bit with their youtube videos and talk to an expert... thanks!
I have a few blueberries plants, I use some dollar store plastic snakes to help control the birds. I place them in the blueberry bushes to keep the birds ran off. I have been doing this about 5 years now and it works great. Hope this helps in some way.
Excellent video. Superb interviewing format with a real expert in the field, with answers followed by clarifications and added information where needed.
We would put a lot of pine bark I gathered from dead trees and mulched it around them, they really did well and are still going after all the years, the soil is really sandy too.
Oh heck yeah - awesome video as usual! Every video of yours is so exciting and helpful. OMG 4-5 years to produce? I'll be dead by that time. Thanks so much from Florida subscriber.
I'm in the midwest in zone 5, and it would be an insane waste of space for me to plant my blueberry rows 12 ft apart. My plants are fine, unpruned, after 10 years, at 5-6 ft apart. It is probably related to a difference in zone.
Thank you for this video, I have a question, I hope you can help - If blueberries go yellow due to lack of acidic soil - can they recover is acidic soil is later provided?
Thank you very much for your useful tips. I wished I found your video before I put two of my young potted bb in the ground. All the leaves turned brown with green stems. I had the right ph 4.5 before placing it down but today I found its ph became 6😢😢😢. I panicked. I am try to adjust it back to 4.5😔😔😔
I planted my barries last year but none of them r blooming flowers I don't understand what to do I'm live in Pennsylvania and I don't know what to do any help would be appreciated
Ok here’s the deal . Buy a bale of peat moss and pine bark mulch plant the blueberries in straight peat moss . Cover them with the mulch. Only use azalea fertilizer and fish emulsion as most others are too hot. They will grow huge and healthier with lots of beeries
Excellent video. So nice to see a commercial grower using natural controls instead of harmful pesticides!
He got that classic farmer body lol...thick, tall and ready to work for days hahaha
The cannon noises were so hilarious

prune your berry bushes a bit to get them going

Good luck.. I hope you let us know how it goes, 🌱
My blueberries love coffee grounds
Mine to 😀😀 i don,t know what it is but they grow wonderfull
How often to you apply the coffee grounds? I'd love to plant some this year.
Because it is acidic :)
Home Cents With Nell once a month during summer and spring..i save my grounds and when its enough in sprinkle it around the bushes
@@anitaendinand thanks a lot for the tip!
I hop that one day i will have my own blueberry farm. Thank for sharing this vdo.
Good luck..I hope to taste one of yours 😋
man you are really enjoying your life, keep up the good work
Perfect timing, I’m transplanting my bushes today and this is a new crop for me. I like the idea of doing the different varieties for extended harvesting. I needed the soil amendment info. Happy planting everyone.
Awesome! Glad this video was helpful. I tried to cover everything I could think of involved in growing blueberries.
Daisy Creek Farms with Jag Singh you did a great job as usual 👍🏼
I been passing by this place my whole life! It’s a nice little spot full of berries
What was not covered was fertilizing and feeding. Amounts and intervals. Would like that topic. This was very good. Thanks.
I enjoy your channel.
Part of my blueberry row is in a wet spot. I planted cranberries there because I thought the blueberry bush would die but both survived.
That was SO informative and interesting! I'm fascinated by working WITH nature! 🌱🐞
me too I love it i am just getting into all the berries
so amazing just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very informative and useful knowledge -- even for home gardeners! Thanks, Jag -- appreciate you seeking out this farmer with so much experience to share.
I just use bark mulch and I get loads of blueberries. I live on Nanaimo, Vancouver Island.
same, pine bark
I am happy to hear that. I find adding all these bought fertilizers very complicated... my fruit trees get chicken manure and grass mulch at the base and they produce crazy amounts of fruit
How do you keep bigfoot away? Propane cannon?
I bought a potted plant of a highbush blueberry plant and it is loaded with baby blue berries. So I wonder if it's an improved version? Because the Bush definitely isn't a year old...
@@JW-wr4ep Leave cookies.
I lived in Hanford for years and never knew about this place!
Thank you. Blueberries here in Florida have runners that can slso be used to increase your stock.
What is the variety named?
All I did was just see blueberries in my local Walmart in Florida and I just bought it
With my moms money) my mom was there I actually asked it for my bday
I Love Jag! Your videos are always fun and enjoyable as well as educational. Keep them coming

Haha, didn't know dogs like blueberries too!
@@DaisyCreekFarms It never occured to me until I caught him in the act! Multiple times too! LOL!!
Good info. Maybe several smaller setups with motion detectors to pop whenever a bird comes near would work better.

I love blueberries
Excellent video
grow in containers at home good video
the 12' row spacing is for big machinery to get through. Not necessary for anybody in their home gardens.
This was awesome information thanks
Thank you farmer John such gentleman. Very informative, and clear. I think of you both when I try. A one or two.🙂
We would put a lot of pine bark I gathered from dead trees and mulched it around them, they really did well and are still going after all the years, the soil is really sandy too.
Oh heck yeah - awesome video as usual! Every video of yours is so exciting and helpful. OMG 4-5 years to produce? I'll be dead by that time. Thanks so much from Florida subscriber.
Very helpful. Hoping for good ones this year.
Great video! Thanks 😉👍
Big thank you from Virje (Croatia)!!!

Your videos are really helpful
Can I add a little vinegar to water to feed?
That was a fascinating video, thanks for a great upload.
Thank you so much for making this trip and the video! I learned a lot.
I use PH Down to water my blueberries
What is the method for top soil adding vinegar or urea?
Another great video
Really great video... Thanks for sharing!!!

I grow Biloxi blueberries. It doesn't need cold hours to fruit.
Thanks for the info. Now how to get my hands on these wonderful BLUEBERRYS
I also grow Biloxi, it doesn’t need cold but it has even more fragile roots than other varieties, but if you get the correct PH they will thrive.
I want to grow blueberries too
Very informative video. Thank you 👍
2:23 Sounds like a Tank just shot a missile.
Yes hahaha
U left out a category. I need to know how to feed blueberries and when.
Can be grow this barries in india at North
OMG he was in my town!
My blueberries are not looking good. I added coffee grounds today. I will water with a touch of vinegar tomorrow and maybe grab some pines.
great video man! answered all the questions i had about blueberries :)
Brilliant video!
Damn! My mouth is watering looking at those berries!
Nice video good stuff. well done keep it up.

Watch this video czcams.com/video/gDaF_NQo2kA/video.html
tell us about the varieties of blueberry Calypso and Osorno. Are they analogous to existing varieties?
Can you do a video on wheat farming ?
I personally prefer the purple berries. They're more sour and firm, which I prefer.
When is the best time/guide to prune container plants in El Cajon Ca.
Deer or rabbits pruned mine!
Great video! I learned a lot. Thanks.
Can blue berries grow in tropical climates Caribbean sun an rain
Hi I’ve bought a 2 year old blueberry bush and on one end of the brown and not growing ? Any advice
What Fertilizer? When? Especially in cold weather region.
Thank you!
Can the cuttings from the plants be rooted?
Yes, they can be.
Awesome info! Thank you.
Great video! New sub! Very informative!
I was thinking coffee too , cause it’s too acidic for my other plants to use too often
Just some personal notes
3:57
5:28
7:14
smol blue tomatoes
What all organic pesticides and compost you use
I planted my barries last year but none of them r blooming flowers I don't understand what to do I'm live in Pennsylvania and I don't know what to do any help would be appreciated
Ok here’s the deal . Buy a bale of peat moss and pine bark mulch plant the blueberries in straight peat moss . Cover them with the mulch. Only use azalea fertilizer and fish emulsion as most others are too hot.
They will grow huge and healthier with lots of beeries
Can you keep them about 4 to 5’ by pruning ?
Can we grow blueberry from seeds? Do we have to graft afterwards?
Hi! What soil do you use for seed germination?
RabbitEye for me it is then
How do u know WHEN to pick them?
