We bought some perennial tubers (there were in fact about 50-60 of them) in the package and my man was surprised when he saw that they were thick tubers and long roots, which we then still put in the ground despite the ground frost a few weeks ago. Some of the perennials have now broken through the soil, but I fear a large proportion will probably not have survived the frost. The bag was filled with some soil, which I thought was a good thing as the roots and tubers were at least not completely dry in the bag, or without soil they would probably have fared worse? But we are beginners too.
Are blueberries the smaller berries and huckleberries the bigger berries? In any case, I like them both very much and wish you that the three different bushes will thrive. Don't forget to take some growth stage pictures, so we can watch the process nicely :)
P.S. I really like the chairs!
Early growth is generally high in starch and sugar and can withstand a bit of frost. Depends on the variety. I believe as long as the tubers didn't freeze, you should get something out of them. The "soil" in the bag was probably just a medium to store them in during dormancy.
I am not familiar with huckleberries so idk.
The chairs are fabulous, they really are! Not everyone can appreciate them though. I'm sure many think I'm nuts for loving them so much.
