Dad always trained his up and I just followed his example.<br />You have reminded me that I probably need to take a look and see if I need to do any more tying up - I probably do!

You have reminded me that perhaps I ought to start liquid feeding now - I just use a generic tomato fertiliser which seems to suit most plants really. The blueberries need a specific ericaceous product (easily obtainable here) and also I ought to top the pots up with some fresh ericaceous soil next spring.<br />xx<br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-12044958559718772282021-08-14T05:50:42.244+01:002021-08-14T05:50:42.244+01:00It was good, worth the drive in.
