Anything special I should do on planting the vines and bushes I just got in from isons? Blackberries, blueberries, grapes, muscadines, and blueberries all going in the ground tomorrow sometime. They are all bare root so it won't take much of a hole. Is it still a good idea to water them good this time of year? What about weekly watering after planting until they start growing?

You need to prepare the ground and make it more acidic most likely. Lowes here in t town wells this blueberry starter stuff in small bags that will acidify soil. Other options are sulfur and wood ashes. Google will provide other options.
Water them well when you first put them in and unless Armageddon happens February is usually wet as heck so you should be good. Start worrying about moisture in May.

Mine came in a week before Christmas. I put them in pots because I didn't know if cold would hurt them being so young. Well they've been in my basement and I've kept water on them and they're putting out leaves. I did put peat moss in the potting soil with the blueberries.

I checked my blueberries yesterday that I set out in November. They all have buds on them so I believe they are all gonna make it. Dig a bigger hole than you think you need and put some mulch in the bottom. I put aged pine bark in mine then put peat moss and potting soil around the roots. Watering good when you put them out then every week real good if no rain will work this time of year. Good luck and don't work too hard.

I don't think it would kill them but if they have put out young leaves already they may get bit back. I think most blueberries will stand a lot colder weather than we have in Alabama.

Thanks for the advice guys. They sent me extra of everything so I planted them way to close together for now. I'm going to see what makes it before thinning them out. It'll be a couple years before I get any fruit I am sure but am already looking forward to it.

you can buy azalea fertilizer for your blueberries.
Dont --Dont-- Put any lime around them. Bad for them.
For muscadines, Isons has a good chart to use. it has a lot of good tips.
