They are Concord, snipped from a tangled mess at my sister's farm. My 
brother took some at the same time and I just learned that he put them 
in a closet and hadn't looked at them since. I'm waiting for his email 
to tell me if they sprouted or rotted.

We have two wild blueberry plants that we dug up from a friend's place a 
few years ago and transplanted to our garden. They have grown slowly but 
produced a handful of berries each year. The problem is birds eat the 
berries before we do. I'm going to have to cover them as soon as the 
berries appear this year. Good luck with yours Bev.
