Thanks!


i'm offline and won't see your pictures
but i would say from your descriptions that
you have a lack of pollination. as to why
that happened it is hard to say without
being there during flowering.

OP, what kind of grapes, and did your grape vine have lots of rain?

Blueberries need fertilizer 2-3 times a year using a fertilizer
made for Azaleas/Camellias, and the soil needs to be acidic.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
