Re: new plants

Sounds great. Just remember, blueberries need acid soil. I haven't been able to grow them here--partly, no doubt, owing to climate, but also because of the acidity--or lack thereof--of the soil. Even tried them in pots without success.

On the way back from our trip to Florida and GA, we ran across a nursery that was selling blueberry plants. I bought a vaccinium ashei "blue gem" and "woodard". I've planted them in the sun but am not sure of the ph of 
the soil. I wanted to get them in the ground before the cold hits later
this week. Maybe, if I lime the area, it will work.
