With new growth? If you have this, you are over the first big set of
hurdles (related to soil pH and maybe mycorhiza).Thankyou they really
are healthy looking plants.

so far they have not given me any fruit.-

I don't know if I'd expect flowers the first spring (I guess ours,
which are small plants, had a few, but we picked them off to let the
plant spend its energy on getting established). But next spring I
would think so.

Do they get full sun?Yes they do get full sun Jim. Although in the
wild blueberries are forest
understory plants, full sun is recommended in the garden. -
I want them to be organic plants .-

Some organic ways of lowering the soil pH or keeping it down are pine
bark, pine needles, or oak leaves.

Should I still feed through the winter Jim or just water.

I don't do anything in the winter, once the bushes are established they
make it through the winter fine. For the first several years that I had
blueberries bushes I always had a couple of casualties, in the spring I'd
replace the dead ones. Eventually they were all well enough established
that they no longer died in the winter. My oldest bushes are now
producing a lot of berries, it took about five years before they became
really productive.
