This weeks Screws of the World has an article about growing
Blueberries.

Where would one get the plants?

Can they be grown in the ground?

Any other information about them would be appreciated.

Hi Alan,
I grow Blueberries in the ground.
We are on a neutral soil and I'm told that it needs to be acidic.
Despite that we get heavy crops each year.
You need more than one bush as they are not self-fertile.
We bought three from "Homebase" and they have been very successful.
The wife has been less successful turning them into Blueberry muffins and
muffins are now firmly off the menu.....

(my apologies to Alan for emailing this reply by mistake - sorry, I'm a bit
new to all this stuff )
