Haven't checked but I am sure that 1/2 of my blueberries is a goner. We are in the middle of an awful drought. I think the other one survived. I heavily watered and mulched it before my surgery last month.

I was told it would take a full year to heal. I have questions for the Physical Therapists as to what I will actually be Able to do after one year's time, when both have become healed. They said, Oh, you'll be running around the yard doing stuff! HA!! There Will be no running in my future, but...
