The blueberry plant doesn't seem to have as much fruit this year, does
it need feeding etc any suggestions please?
My grape vine came into flower, but the fruits seem to have dissapeared,
here is a picture

i'm offline and won't see your pictures
but i would say from your descriptions that
you have a lack of pollination. as to why
that happened it is hard to say without
being there during flowering.

OP, what kind of grapes, and did your grape vine have lots of rain?
Blueberries need fertilizer 2-3 times a year using a fertilizer
made for Azaleas/Camellias, and the soil needs to be acidic.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True
conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.
America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

This year , for the first time ever , my grape vine is loaded - fruit
usually sets , but doesn't mature but for a few grapes . We had a very wet
spring , unlike the last few years .
BTW , I didn't planrt the vine , just realized one day it was there among
the honeysuckle vines on my fence . The few grapes it has produced in the
past had good flavor ... just weren't enough to do anything with .
