Blueberries!

My mom showed up with a wonderful surprise for me tonight - four beautiful blueberry plants! I've got a Toro, a Chandler, a Legacy, and a Sunshine Blue. It seems like a good mix of size, flavour, and aesthetics (Sunshine Blue and Legacy are evergreen, and Sunshine Blue and Toro have pink blossoms). I'm so excited, I hope they actually produce fruit this year! I've read that you're supposed to remove all of the blossoms the first year to increase production in future years, but I'm not sure I'll actually be able to bring myself to do it (anyone have any experience with this?). Now if only we'd get a couple of dry days so we can finish digging in the new beds and get these plants in the ground!

I am still waiting to plant my veggies too, way to much rain to get started. Good luck with the blue berry plants. mj

planted our first blueberry bush as well. I never knew you were supposed to pinch the blossoms the first year. OUCH - that will take some serious will power!
