blueberries out my ears!!

My, oh my..

what a good hearty pruning will do for some old blueberry bushes!

When we bought this home (going on 3 years) one of the best things about it was the grounds.

A beautiful mature garden was already in place, although it was heartily overgrown and in need of alot of attention, this was one of the selling points to me.

WAAAAaay in the back of the property was a pair of gigantic blueberry bushes.

the berries it produced the first year were sparce, but terrific and about 10 feet in the air.

so guess who..BV, you got it.. decided it was time for a little trimming.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? I cry, running out of the house as I see my blueberry "trees" in a heap on the green grass. We need to get these producing so the children can pick them-

without a ladder.

Lordy..(under my breath) Okay, you always know best. (unfortunately, most of the time its true) aHem..Anyhoo, last year was berryless (berriless?)

Uh, hey bob, wheres the blueberries? I asked..

patience, my dear. They will be back.

and again, the man was right.

so, irritating. does this happen to you?

here is a berry bad (ha ha) photo of my poor hand, dosent it look decrepit?

its really not that bad, its just scrunched.

Gorgeous! sweet, and lovely. we love a good blueberry pannicake around here, but! I am getting weary of them. Do you have a good blueberry recipe for me?

let me know, Id love to try something NEW!!
