We just came out of the deep freeze! It's quite sad when 10 degrees above zero feels like a heat wave! It's nice to see the weather get back to a more normal state, but it's leaving me anxious to find out how my poor blueberries are feeling!
I ordered 2 blueberry plants last spring for something different. Like I've mentioned before, I've always got to have something new and exciting going on. That was one of the projects last year. They did quite well through the summer. I was scared getting them established for the simple fact that we do not have acidic soil, which is what they thrive in. I've come to realize peat moss is my other best friend. Beside using it for my baby chicks, the blueberries did quite well in a 80-90% peat based soil. I also added evergreen and pine cones, as they say that is supposed to help to provide winter protection.
They say my poor blueberries can survive winter time temps of 30-40 below zero, so this past stretch I'm sure was pushing my blueberries buttons! Oh how I hope they make it!!!!
