	I have a lovely large new blueberry in a pot. My mate lives in Midhurst and has had this blueberry thriving in her back garden. She has, however, downsized and moved about as far as twice the length of my back garden. In that little space, her garden soil has changed from ericaceous to sandy and the plant just doesn't want to know. So, now, for the outlay of a bag of ericaceous compost for my pot, I have a lovely blueberry plant.

	I have a spindly one in the greenhouse, it was reduced in Morrisons. I must pot it up before winter but will keep it in the greenhouse till it grows more. Hope yours thrives, Sharron Lizx

	I hope it does well Sharron! I love Blueberries! When I was a little girl in Staffordshire, their smaller relative Bilberry bushes grew wild and mum and I would pick them. Mum made delicious Bilberry pies with them.......I can taste them now....yum, yum!! :-)
