Blueberry advice...

I've been reading about blueberry bushes, and i just ordered some seeds online. I get 75 seeds, in 6 varietys of highbush seeds. (bluecore, blueray, bluejay, duke, gold coast, misty)

My question is would it be best to germ the seeds and then plant them outside from the very begging stages of the seeds life, and if so when is it safe to do this?

Hey,
I watched something about Blueberries this morning. you need to grow them in ericasceous (sp) soil - that was described as acid soil I think - heathland, pine forests or bogs type of thing.
The guy said that if you plant a 2 year old bush it will take 7 years to produce a heavy crop.
As for germing the seeds, I tried and failed in the past, they're difficult. I'm not sure but they might need a period in the cold so you may need to put them in your fridge for a while.

yeah, i will be using peat moss and sulfur to control soil. I just need to know if its ok to plant seeds outside after the first frost?
