Always love watching fathers teach their sons trades and skills that they will care with them for the rest of their lives, 🙏 hope you and yours are well

[@G.G.T.]

thank you, we also did a few taste tests, have a look.

[@Abel-w2f]

What type of soil and fertilizer do you use for your blueberries?

[@pokemonone5630]

So funny when you talk to your kids 😂🥰💕

[@spongybob9087]

Super cool. I have like 12 to 14 blueberry plants.

nice

[@newgguy5364]

@@G.G.T. how often do you water during summer? thanks

[@G.G.T.]

@@newgguy5364 early summer before heat once per week, during hot periods every 3-4 days

@@G.G.T. thanks your blueberry plants make me want to buy more lol or try from cuttings even though they take longer

[@G.G.T.]

@@newgguy5364 well i made a few taste test videos if you decide to look for more. wish i had advice before hand haha

[@TheSUale]

Impressive. Thank you for the video. My goal for 2020 is to have more blueberry plants and varieties. Your son’s reactions is hilarious, especially to the pepper tasting. Worth watching the video just for that. Happy gardening.

[@G.G.T.]

Haha...yes it is!! Your timing is perfect, the berries are just becoming ripe and more videos to follow. Its been a while since i looked at this video i wonder why all the "THUMBS DOWN"?? really a gardening video lol...oh well

[@AAHomeGardening]

Wow, those avocado are looking lovely Just like the blueberries

[@G.G.T.]

Thank You

[@kevinlee3848]

awesome video, loved seeing your varieties of blueberries, i recently picked up a sharpblue, o neal, and bountiful blue, thinking about picking up a couple other ones, what would you recommend? also keep up the update videos on them if you can, would love to see how theyre doing

[@G.G.T.]

will do this in a few months.. just did not get enough berries on ALL varieties to be comfortable in accuracy. learned blueberries do produce until a couple years old...sorry it will be longer but we will do

[@onebicycle3772]

Hi. Nice healthy blueberries you got there. Was wondering what is your soil mixture for those? Can you share it to us please?

[@G.G.T.]

i don't remember anymore but it is mentioned in the videos i believe, there are a few of them

[@onebicycle3772]

@@G.G.T. Thats ok. How about the details of your plant pots? They are nice as well

[@G.G.T.]

@@onebicycle3772 those i remember they were at costco (never have seen again however)

[@onebicycle3772]

@@G.G.T. Thanks

[@cybertones942]

Yea was mixing soil

[@Quest4Unknown]

Those look great. FYI Avocado trees get huge, at least all the ones in Long Beach CA all neighbors had then and mad production just picked them off the ground and enjoyed. In that small space I think I’d grow only dwarf. And a kid saying “shut up” at an adult.. sigh.. needs better manors

[@G.G.T.]

Most of these strains are dwarf or small in stature, the 3 that can get big are hass fuerte and mexicola. I plan to trim these guys no taller then 12" or so. easy to pick and easy to grow less water too. (I love avocados and they are getting crazy expensive and rarely grow in CA anymore) thanks for stopping by consider a sub, new videos have plums pluots and all kinds of stuff lol

[@tienle20041]

Can you recommend one with good flavor thanks

[@G.G.T.]

we did some taste test videos!! try the blueberry playlist

[@jamesr8738]

Haha I just got done planting three types myself and read about how you help ADHD kids. Well I'm no kid but have very severe ADHD and maybe thats why I needed 3 different types 😀

[@sayville_silver]

"Dont tug on it until you're ready to use it" ain't that the truth..

[@mfmarshall4478]

Wow, so you can grow blueberries in a pot, I plan on growing some in a planter pot. What size pots are you using please?

[@G.G.T.]

Blueberries do AWESOME in pots...much easier to acidify the soil. These are synthetic half barrels (guessing about 15-20 gallons)... We did some taste tests on the grow, really nice flavor!!!

[@familychanel5587]

100ltr ok

[@Ret2Play]

@@G.G.T. your blueberries are growing nicely. I’m a new gardener, just bought two varieties from a local small nursery. They are about a 5th of the size of yours but one is fruiting. How long did it take for yours to get that size?

[@G.G.T.]

@@Ret2Play surprisingly fast.... after 2 years they will look very close to that size..

[@Ret2Play]

@@G.G.T. i just tried one today, was more flavorful than the grocery bought ones I had for breakfast! I’m super excited. Thanks for the response!

[@imbonnie]

3 per pot is too many. Just 1 per pot is plenty. Give them some gypsum if u want them to get strong branches.

Just speeds thing up ALOT with the 3 plants! some have just one if expensive

[@SrinivasaReddyMuly]

good to see so many varieties in one place, thank you. which one do you recommend for front yard. looking for a short bush type, aesthetically looking. thank you.

[@G.G.T.]

i would go with misty, small tasty berries and it is the ONLY bush that kept very Autumn colored leaves. very pretty there is a video showing that in the playlist if u look.

I have blueberry plant with brown branches with green leaves but I doesn’t know which kind of blueberry is that 😕 but I love those all blueberry plants u have 😍

[@G.G.T.]

Thanks, My plant are Young. As they get older the branches get woody or more bark like.

[@scottdurrwachter7127]

I am really not sure how you are doing that… You’re in California and you are growing avocados and northern highbush blueberries… That should not be possible northern highbush blueberries require a certain amount of chill hours. What are you doing putting them in a refrigerator?

[@G.G.T.]

lol Central California gets plenty of chill here.

[@bmcdonald7303]

Beautiful

[@G.G.T.]

also DELICIOUS Too!! lol

[@christianwhite4933]

What size barrels do you use

[@G.G.T.]

those are not labeled but guessing about 25-30 gallon or so...costco buy lol

[@kronosdb]

What size pots are those?

[@G.G.T.]

Its been quite a while since i bought them at Costco, and I do not think they had a size stamped anywhere. On a guess i would bet about 25 gallon or so. I really like them and they are holding up great

[@kronosdb]

@@G.G.T. I just bought 3 Pink Lemonade, 1 Chandler and 1 Tifblue blueberry plants. I'm going to use grow bags.

[@G.G.T.]

@@kronosdb cool I really wanted a pink lemonade as well...but i have soo many already. I need to decide on keepers and give aways. maybe we can trade bushes in the future lol

[@marinevet7273]

So which of your blueberry bushes are the most productive?

[@G.G.T.]

well they do not get full sun where they are but ka-bluey was pretty good production! and taste was great too

[@newgguy5364]

how many pounds total of blueberry's did you get? thanks

[@G.G.T.]

they come in waves...so kinda hard to say. I pick every week sometimes every 3 days. 1/2- 1 pound every few days. kids picked and ate ALOT so who knows. but I have more then enough for me & family and a few friends/neighbors!! my bushes are still young each year the harvest doubles!!!!

im almost to the fact the nursery with the 50% off to go back to and get more blueberry lol, you might find a nursery has prices marked down to get more lol, but you have alot of plants also but its more free food after the initial investment

[@aquapros916]

@@G.G.T. yep.. nice! Same here... was just curious how some would do in 916 area.... think ill be giving them a try.. Are these results of using an acidic potting mix? Or did you just go with regular potting soil?

[@G.G.T.]

@@aquapros916 kinda mixed myself, dirt- pearlite-pete moss-bark chunks. been a while think I said how in an early video? toss in some sulphur and coffee grounds

[@jorgemartinez-jv8vx]

What’s the soil you used for the blueberries? Thanks

[@G.G.T.]

Nothing real special...top soil some sand and a few handfulls of tree bark chunks. I you can get some pete moss toss a few handfuls of that it. I mixed 25/75 vinegar water in a bucket poured in and let sit for a month before even planting. Sulfur works too....good luck don't be too fussy they are plants (just keep it acidic many small doses)

head to lowes and home depot. nice selection there in the spring

[@MrBraffZachlin]

you coulda had an interesting series going and a sub but its clear you dont follow thru. still no results and taste test.

[@G.G.T.]

addressed in an avocado video, basically gone most of summer on vacations, and we did not get a great harvest. blueberries only fruit on 2 year old wood plants were too immature (discovered afterward). video coming on next year harvest is the plan now. my "recent" gardening focus was on keeping my avocados alive. we are just having some casual fun and not doing this as a profession. Move on, subscribe, make your own video and leave a link...matters not to me. NO WORRIES :)
