Blue, Black, Red...

Red Raspberry

Blueberry

Blackberry

Blue, black and red! No, I'm not talking about the bruises I acquired over the weekend doing yard work, I'm talking about my berries bushes!

I planted 12 blueberry bushes last year. 8 survived the winter. The mailman stomped a few to broken twigs, and the cold winter temps zapped the other two.

The blackberry brush times 2 is more like a flowering oak tree! It's huge and has a bit of a lean. The red raspberry bush times 4 are spreading, flowering and look healthy, phew! I need to get a handle on the spreading thing, I don't want encourage disease only healthy growth! Now to cover them all with yards and yards of netting, because the birds have been circling!
