Lon, Is lonicera what Dr. Thompson was working on?  Any news from her  
work?

Vrana, I have moderately acid soil, and every year I plant a few more  
blueberries.  The oldest ones have finally matured to produce non- 
trivial amounts of fruit, and it looks like this year will be better  
than last.  They are more work than most anything else I grow,  
because they need both serious mulching and serious bird-netting to  
produce.  But they are worth it.

Thanks,
Ginda
