I just wish I could produce a single blueberry. Nothing this year from my plant. Boooooooo!

Ours did better than they ever have. I think we ended up with 3 or so gallons. I plan on working on mine some this winter with good fertilize, mulch, and training pruning. I'm also thinking about a drip irrigation line for them. Try and get them producing as best we can.

T I look forward to how your dehydrating turns out.

Our receiver at work came across a pallet of them. so I bought a couple flats. I found the trick for growing them locally though, from a friend who's grow like crazy. Highly acidic soil. he has almost equal amounts pine needles and soil.

We have neutral to sweet soil. I add heavily acidic amendments every winter. It is easy to tell when I miss a year. I add at least a foot of pine needle s as a mulch every year
