Blueberries

Blueberry Plants In Grow Bags

Our four blueberry bushes have been producing berries at a tremendous clip this year; big, juicy, luscious berries.  We've had blueberries on cereal, in pancakes, in muffins and layered in a wonderful parfait, too.

Naturally, we're not the only ones who appreciate the anti-oxident properties and sweet taste of blueberries, but we had hoped that, with fewer ground squirrels around this year, they would be safe from the varmints.

But, of course, the birds like them, too.  So Cindy added some bird netting around the grow bags the blueberries are in, and put reflective strips on the netting to let the birds know it's there so they won't get tangled in the netting.

One bush was almost done producing berries, so she left that one outside the netting so the birds could have some, too.

Who doesn't like fresh blueberries?
