Spring is the resurrection of life—what a great time. I mudded a few items in 2 weeks ago here in the Midwest: onions, lettuce, peas, spinach, and broccoli. Tell me more about epsom salts—I need to acidify to grow blueberries. Any good info on growing blueberries in the midwest because the ones I put out last year don’t look healthy—I followed directions and acidified the soil but we had a warm and dry summer that didn’t help.

I would think that a mulch of oak leaves would help to acidify the soil for blueberries. I fed mine azalea and rhododendron fertilizer last year, but they don’t look happy now.

Well first year isn’t very successful anyway. If they are still alive this year then you did way good. Pat on the back. My hunch is that they will be better this year.
