... of my planting life so far this season. The blueberry bushes have arrived! 5 Patriots and 5 Bluecrop. I managed to get 7 into the ground this afternoon. It was cold and rainy today--bad for me, but probably good for the plants. As of now, they basically look like twigs, with only a few leaves and buds. But I'm being optimistic and hoping that they will grow well this season, and perhaps even produce a few blueberries. I've prepared so long and hard for these blueberry bushes, it's hard to believe they're actually here. This is by far the single most expensive gardening project I've done--$65.50 for the blueberry bushes, and probably another $35 for soil amendments, etc. But in addition to producing delicious blueberries, I think they will make the yard more attractive, especially once they've grown in a bit. :)

Lovely spot you have there, Caroline (after looking at your photos). Wonderful part of the world you live in! I ordered three blueberry plants last week, my first ever. Like you, I'm very excited at the prospect of growing my own. I've been cutting down and digging up the boxwood hedges between my yard and my neighbors to the north so my blueberries will be an edible boundary. |

Hi Caroline, I want to wish you well with the blueberry bushes. It's a pleasure seeing your blog. This is the start of the growing season that we in the northern hemisphere have been anticipating. It's here, have fun. Your friend, Bill Mitchell |
