Our living situation is still up in the air, and we don't know when we'll know if/when we're moving. Obviously, I don't want to spend a ton of money on the yard if we won't be here, but I had really wanted to plant a bunch of blueberry bushes this year (I tried last year but my husband ran them all over with the lawnmower). If we move, it will be to an apartment, and hopefully we'd buy our own house in another three years or so.
I was thinking.. I have huge plastic pots (20" in diameter, I think) that I usually put tomatoes in. If I put blueberry bushes in those, with the hope of transplanting them into the ground in a few years when we eventually buy our own house, would that work? I know that you can keep blueberries in pots in theory, that they'll just stay small.. I'm mainly wondering about how they would fare transplanting after they were, say, 3 years old. Would their growth stay stunted, would it kill them, etc? I'm also wondering how much of a pain in the butt it would be to transport them from an apartment to a house at that point.. would they be too unwieldy?
