    They can probably be grown anywhere if you are willing to do the
    work. Mine died after a year, but I have alkaline soil and
    evidently didn't use enough sulfur. Or maybe it was because I
    didn't water them, you think? Or maybe it was before I read the
    article and I used too much sulfur. I did put a six-inch layer of
    pine needles down.

    After reading your article I became inspired to plant two blueberry
    bushes in my (small) yard. The nursery sells bushes appropriate for
    our climate (San Francisco). The bushes already have berries,
    although they're not blue yet. Should I remove these ASAP, per your
    instruction to remove flowers the first year? Or is it too late?
    Any advice greatly appreciated. (Haven't planted them yet.) thanks.

    I am looking for a good covering for my blueberry bushes. Not the
    black netting but a white cotton type netting. Please let me know
    if you know where I can find this. Thank you. CHaleen
