I may do pots for at least the first year while I watch my "sun" areas this year to determine if I can find any area with 6+ hours and then place them in a raised bed. What did you use in your mix for the pots?...it has been recommended that I use peat moss/pine mulch(the small nuggets). Your plants look good, better than most around here in the ground.

Yes that mix would work, maybe some perlite too.
My exact mix for my blueberries is 3 parts pine fines (no small nuggets around here, this is a coarse mix) 1 part peat. 1 part coarse perlite(huge pieces) 1 part diatomaceous earth perlite size pebbles, 1 cup sulfur 1 tbsp azomite, 1 tbsp humic acid, and on top some holly-tone. I think I added 1 cup rock phosphate too, had some around.
