anything). I raise blueberries - have for several years and am getting
fruit now. I have mine planted where they get half day sun and they seem
pretty happy. I amended the soil with peat at planting and added acidifier
even though my soil is on the acid side. So far, so good. I'd be happy to
try to help you figure out what's wrong if you'd like.
Please remind, or tell us where you are and what you do in the homestead
realm.
What and how often do you feed your blueberries?

With substantially-home-produced goodies, we just consumed a fine meal.
For accoustical ambience I selected Scott's album, 8 Miles to Perryville.
Which of course reminded me of you. Which reminded me of your substantial
blueberry experience. I am very close to throwing up my hands and admitting
apple and blueberry production failure, due partly to more items on my menu
than time to enjoy them--the inevitable time challenges, the environmental
conditions here in this part of the Ozarks, and the knowledge that we can
buy good, organically grown fruit at somewhat reasonable prices.
As I move through geezerhoodism, I am more and more skeptical of the
proclamations of food producers. So, yeah, I ever more prefer to grow my
own.
We have thus far this year gorged on strawberries, cherries, and now
boysenberries. The blue fruit did not make it. But before I give up on
blueberries, I solicit you advice.
