So I got the left from the local nursery (it was labeled as chives but this app is saying it’s an onion??) anyone know?

On the right is my new blueberry bush. I know soil is meant to be acidic. Anyone else have any tips on how to keep it happy?

Thanks!

It an onion. Chives are thin like spaghetti. You can add an acidic fertilizer to the plant and mulch with pine bark mulch in the summer.

Chives are onions. All good.
