Blueberries

IMG_8403

My mom gave us some blueberry bushes this year. As part of a gardening/nature week in school we planted them in these pots and situated them on the deck. Since I’m posting this over four months after the fact I can report that the plants have grown and we actually picked several handfuls of fruit from them, spread out over many weeks, of course. Every few days someone would conduct a berry check and would ceremoniously pass around the allotment from that particular harvest – usually one berry each. This fall we hope to put them in the ground and get a larger crop next year.
