If anyone has advice for this newbie feel free to share. Thanks in advance.

 Blueberries wont survive unless your soil is either really acidic or full of carbon. Really doesn't  look like they will survive there looking at that soil, so take those out by some ericaceous compost and put them in a glazed pot. 

Go mulch that area after with as much woodchip as you can acquire/make/buy. 
 Thanks for the advice. I have plenty of woodchips currently and will some out. I'll check on the compost. 
 A lesson we learned…When the blueberries start to produce, cover them with a netting or birds will pick them clean. 
 Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Any recommendations for netting? 
 Wasn’t anything fancy or even garden specific. Think we got it at Home Depot. Similar to what they use for erosion control. We went with black so you really couldn’t see it until you were close. Orange or white would have been an eyesore.
