Blueberries

Just planted three blueberry bushes in a huge plastic pot from wilkos, varieties Septa, Augusta and Julia. Loads of ericacious compost in there as well. The old blueberry, a bluecrop variety, i think is probably dead. These cost £15 as a set from Wyevale's, but will allow the cross pollination they need (something i wasnt aware of until i read it in my magazine), and each is a different fruiting time, so i should have plenty of blueberries through the season.

All the other fruit bushes are in now, and all the trees are staked and teathered properly, even the cherry out the front, which was a nightmare as a few inches under the soil is concrete, seems the tree took hold in a crack, so getting a stake in was difficult.

The potato patch is almost done. Only a small pile of earth now needs moving from the surface, leaving about 4ft of 'bench' to dig and then the last of the double digging, before backfilling the end trench and leveling the surface. Ive run out of leaves though, so the last part of the bed will be without any additional organic material, and will just have to take its chances.
