Oh, for Peat's sake...

I just peated the soil around my blueberries. ;-) Their leaves were turning yellow, and that usually means the soil is a) not acidic enough and b) not retaining moisture without drowning. All of the resources online say to mix peat 50/50 with the local soil for blueberries, so I did. I made a nice peat mud, and turned it into the soil around my berry bushes. They seemed happy about that, although they are still too young for me to be able to "talk" with coherently.

datapard watered her onions, and the front strawberries, and then we set up a drip watering for the strawberries in back. We both then happily came back inside to cool off.

Tomorrow I get to transplant my Alpine strawberries, which are miniature sized.

Unfortunately kudzu does survive here. It is threatening my azaleas at the moment. It covers everything! My poor husband thought that it was grapes and so doesn't {make that didn't}keep it from our fenced area. Now I have to try to keep it from creeping across the old kennel and into the house. Too bad it doesn't survive where you are. I would gladly send you some! WE seem to have an overabundance of vines and mimosa trees that are taking over. I guess that is what I get for wanting a xerascape yard.
