The plants would be crammed if you use the troughs you've suggested which would stunt the plants growth overall. Then, when you put them in the ground, they would have to recover before they could begin to grow. I suggest you do yourself a favor. "gift" those plants to someone then wait until you move to obtain more which will go directly into the ground.

Ok, ok, here's the pics: Psych....LOL Patience is a virtue! I WILL get those pics posted. I will NOT put any camo around/in front of my gorgeous bench! No, I won't do it. The pics will be CLOSE up, showing DETAIL! :) Mark, did you take a pic of your bench before you shipped it? If so, go ahead and post it and mine will follow later, with the Poo family and garden. :)

I agree with Scott said. I will add a little. Not knowing for sure what you have makes it a little harder to give advice. I will share part of what I've been told. I have always planted in the ground and not in containers also. So not a lot of experience with containers. I received some blueberry plants one year not much later than this. But they were still dormant and bare root. And they said to plant them and put mulch around them. And they did fine. I would only pot up if I could move the big pot inside at night. I saw some blueberry plants at our local Wally World outside and all leaved out. If yours is like that then I would make sure they were inside when freezing temps hit. You can mulch or insulate to protect the roots too a certain degree but the leaves can get burned bad if it gets too cold on them. Jay

North...one should de-glaze with room temperature liquid, and do it slowly, to avoid thermal shock. Never use cold water or a significant amount of cooler liquid quickly. Most warping occurs from incorrect usage: Bring the cookware to temperature slowly. Do not dump cold water into or on top of a hot pan. Always match the burner size to the pan size. Large pans can be more susceptible to warping if the burner is a ring. This is due to the lack of even heating across the surface. A pan with excellent heat conductivity, such as copper, will mitigate this. Some high-quality stainless steel brands are Demeyere, Viking, and Mauviel.
