Beginning of the Blueberry Harvest, 2020

It's blueberry time.  I've moved, and don't have the five fairly mature bushes that I used to have, but I have five new ones (one of which has not yet produced much).  I won't get 20 pounds off of them this year, but may end up with as much as 6 pounds.  I'll be doing some blueberry preserves soon.


They started ripening in late June, and look like they will continue for another week or so--that's pretty similar to my experience at the old place.  The four producing bushes are largely the same as what I had before, mostly rabbiteyes and of the same varieties that worked well at my former house (Climax, Tifblue, Powderblue).   I have enough for a load of blueberry preserves.
