A local farm is selling three year old blueberries for 12$/ plant and I’m excited, I want to have a little blueberry patch in our garden. My question is if I can transplant them now- we are in zone 7a. Thanks.

yup , best time to transplant is during dormancy, once spring has sprung don't let roots get dried out, biggest challenge is to prepare site where they are going, an ideal soil for blueberries is about like acidic 50/50 peat moss and sand and gravel .
