Blueberries!

A couple years ago, I made this post about our first raspberry! The raspberries have done very well and we have had a great crop this year.

Last year (or maybe even the year before) Scott planted 1, lone blueberry bush. Earlier in the spring, my mom suggested that the soil needed to have some acid added to it in order for the plant to produce fruit. So Scott put some pine needles around the base of the bush.

Last week, the first blueberry arrived!

See it?

A close up.

Nice and plump berry.

Just before he ate it!

We've gotten a few blueberries since then. I'm not sure if the bush will get much bigger or if we need to buy more to get more berries, but Scott was pretty excited that he finally got some fruit from it!

I think the plant did very well - not everything fruits in its first or second year! Hope it was yummy!
