Blueberries are ready to harvest when they turn a deep blue and come off the plant easily. Pick them regularly to encourage more fruit production. Freshly picked blueberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Simply wash and dry the berries, spread them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to airtight containers.
Troubleshooting Common Issues in Container Blueberry Gardening
Common issues in container blueberry gardening include yellowing leaves, poor fruiting, and stunted growth. Yellowing leaves may indicate a pH imbalance or nutrient deficiency, which can be corrected by adjusting the soil pH or fertilizing appropriately. Poor fruiting can result from inadequate sunlight or improper pruning. Ensure your plants receive enough light and are pruned correctly to encourage fruit production.
