Drew, how are you protecting your blueberries in pots? I have four first year plants. One plant is a 1 gallon from Lowes replanted in a 5 gal plastic pot. I have one bare root Top Hat also replanted in a 5 gal plastic pot. The other two plants were purchased bare root and are in repurposed 1.5 gal planters for now. The soil in all of them is a specialty blueberry soil from Gurneys , basically an expensive peat mix. Its very light and dries out every few days.

The temps are going to drop from 70 this week to 30 next week, with typical below zero weather coming on its heals. Burying the pots aren't really an option. Should they stay outside or spend some quality chill time in the cold dark garage .
