Have you planted your blueberries and pink lemonade in the ground? Do you know what type of soil you have? Blueberries prefer acidic soil so I grow mine in ericaceous compost.
Hello yeah I planted them last year when I first got the alotment and are all looking really well .
As for the type of soil I'm lost on that one but the previous person before he took ill used to double dig the soil and has done for the last 30 years .

That's good but do keep an eye on them. I'm not really sure what happens if they don't have acidic soil, maybe they just won't fruit well. I've only ever grown mine in a pot of ericaceous, someone else might be along soon that grows in regular soil too and they can let you know better.
Hello JPP - Welcome to the Vine. I am very glad you have joined our motley crew!
I think it's brilliant that you are growing so much - I tend to do the same thing. I am now trying to remember the song that goes 'I want it all. I want it all I want it all and I want it now'
