All is well in the blueberry patch. The bushes are dripping with buds, and we're looking forward to a fruitful season this year.
I expect that the bushes will be in full bloom by mid-week, and there will be some very happy bees!
The strawberry plants are also just beginning to flower. I better prepare my lower back for the torture that will ensue when strawberry season arrives.
Just about everything is coming up roses - even the garlic. We planted eight varieties last fall, and all of them are growing vigorously. We will soon have scapes!
It will be months before we harvest blueberries, strawberries, or garlic. However, Fat Bear Farm will have spinach, sweet potatoes, seedlings, and perhaps a bit of asparagus available at the next Saturday Cobblestone Farmers Market.
My strawberries are covered in blooms too. And "Yep" you better get your back up and running. I screwed mine up this weekend. Seems like you always gotta have that one painful weekend each Spring to get you back in gear.
