Blueberries in September

We have a new record for the length of the blueberry season.

It's the third day in September and there are still a lot of blueberries on the bushes. The summer has been cool at times with plenty of rain when needed and it has prolonged the crop. Twice when we had a spell of dry weather I watered the bushes. Other than that, it's been a bumper crop.



These bushes (over 60) were planted by Cathy's grandfather. I water them by placing the sprinkler on a step ladder.



Cathy has made a few pies this year and numerous batches of blueberry crunch bars. Delicious!
