Planted a blueberry bush last year and had a few berries. Nothing this year. I didn't prune it. Should I have and by how much? Should I have more than one bush for pollination?

Hello Gerry Thank you for your time. We have recently buit a pergola and would like to plant wisteria with intention that it will cover it in time. However we have been told that the planters are too small to have wisteria they measure 36inchs x 14.5 inchs & 18.5inchs deep and built of brick. Would you think they are too small ? The pergola has 6 sets of planters and posts, if we do have the suitable size how many plants will i need to achieve complete coverage. i have sent you a photo. If its a case wisteria would not be suitable what could you recommend instead

I bought red hydrangeas but when the flowers appeared they are pink and mauve. I know it has something to do with my soil but don't know how to fix it. I love the web site, keep up the good work.

ALL of the buds of my ecchinnecea are dyeing and turning black and dry before they have a chance to flower. Is this familiar to you?
