Hello, I have been having nothing but bad luck with my flowers. None of them are doing well. My 2 blueberries which you will see in the pictures have flowers on them, but the flowers and leaves are turning brown...parts of the stems are now turning brown. I am losing these guys:( My blueberries from the states are all dead but one...and that's only got a little bit of green on the stems...no new growth...I am losing that one too. That one is called Revellie Southern Highbush. I water them a bit...not too much so I don't drown them. I had put peat moss and rich organic soil before planting the blueberries...I don't know what the acidity of the soil is. I had bought some ph meters to measure acidity, but the meters (both of them) do not give me any kind of reading.What can I do to save them?

I have other problems with my flowers. My geranium has holes in its leaves...something is eating them, I would assume...haven't found it yet. Maybe it's snails. I should probably check to see at night.

My one clematis is blooming...too slowly and doesn't have much growth at all. Its leaves are browning also. My other 2 clematis haven't bloomed for almost a year. there is no growth whatsoever.

Can anyone help me save my plants? I love plants but I guess I can't keep them alive. I tried posting pictures of the other plants, but can't. I guess only one picture can be posted.

I live in Athens, Greece. I believe the planting zone is 9, if I remember correctly. I would really appreciate some tips!

Thanks, Tina:)
