my poor blueberries

15 years ago

This is the 3rd year for my plants in pots and I was looking forward to a good harvest. The plants are absolutely loaded with blooms. The problem is that it's been one of the coldest springs I can remember here in the State of Washington and for three weeks the blooms sat in the rain, wind, and cold. We had at least three nights where it's frosted too and now the blooms have lost their vibrance, they are kind of droopy and dull looking.

I have also noticed the bees are paying no attention to them, bees all around them on my fruit trees and on the dandelions but nothing on the blueberries.

The other thing is that all the new leaves just coming out are purple and red and from what I have read this is an indicator of cold soil and the plants inability to take up nutrients. I think this year may be a bust.
