The Quiet Seasons

After the blueberry picking season is over, there is work to be done to prune and fertilize the bushes, and get them ready for the next year. The autumn, winter, and spring seasons in the blueberry patch are pretty in their own way. We just wanted to share a few pictures with you to look at, while you are enjoying the bounty of summer blueberries that you have stored in your freezer.

Thanks for a wonderful season!

The bees have done their job and the hives are taken away to another location. Colby oversees the operation, but from a safe distance!

The Blue Crop berries were the size of small peas and turning pink a couple of weeks ago. They are now big and blue, mostly.

Please call us if you have any questions or suggestions, and we hope to see you at Crabtree's PYO Highbush Blueberries this summer.
