Berry time

It is the highlight of the growing season for me. Blueberries are just starting to rippen and the pruning is paying off as the berries are large. It looks to be a stellar year as the rain really helps in the size and sweetness. I will probably get a large 30 gal trash barrel full this year from 20 plants. Last year I was lucky to get 2, 5 gallon pails as the winter moths did a number, this year nary a winter moth or gypsy moth. I do need to cut them back pretty good next year as they are well over 6 foot high and are getting hard to put netting over them to protect from the damn cat birds and robins.
