Title: Blueberry bushes.
Post by: siandc on May 07, 2009, 21:42:56
Hiya, bought 2 blueberry (tiny) bushes from Lidl earlier in the year. Did anyone else get any and if anyone else has young bushes how are they doing ,both of our are still just a collection of twigs with no leaves or buds.  :(
I think they are no more, Chloe hopes they're late starters.
Opinions please!!!!  :)

They're planted in and mulched up in ericaceous compost.
