I’ve been hunting up recipes for things to do with blueberries.  I’m dreaming that next year we’ll have some to harvest from the bushes.  My cousin gave me some much needed information on how to get them to produce.  He told me to add peat moss, iron sulfate, and plenty of mulch to the soil around them.  Next time I at Home Depot, or Lowes I’ll make sure to pick up what I need.

     The bushes looked puny this year and didn’t produce enough fruit especially with the cat bird making raids on the bushes.  Danged bird would look right at me, make his mewling noise, grab a blueberry, and fly away.  He beat me to every ripe berry.

     The only blueberries I had this year were the ones I picked and brought home from my Aunt’s place.  The first thing I did was to make us a lovely batch of blueberry pancakes.  Next year, if my bushes produce like the ones at my Aunt’s place, I’ll have enough to share with the blasted bird without missing out.

     I’m thinking about all this because I have to start now if I want the bushes to be in good shape next year.
