Hi!
I live in Cincinnati, OH (Zone 6A). 2 years ago, I bought 4 blueberry bushes and planted them in a patch, and planted a 5th bush on my patio in a pot. I think due to the hours of sunlight, only the porch blueberry has done well - the patch blueberries seem to putter along and what few fruits they do produce are eaten by animals.
This year, I was hoping to move a few of my patch blueberries to large pots on the patio to try to improve their sun exposure and production.
Although I would generally just wait until later in the spring, it's been unseasonably warm this year and it looks like there may only be 1 more frost anticipated in the next week - past this, the historic lows are 32 exactly.
Am I safe to transplant the bushes now, or should I wait?
