Blueberry bushes didn’t do very well this year .

 

More of the same.

 

My blueberry bush had made berries the first year and the damn birds ate every single one, its never produced another berry since.

 

Try putting some pine needles around the plant or even better, some oak saw dust. Blueberries like acidic soil.

 

So tomatillos do good here. Just pulled these

 

Whatya gonna make?

 

Hopefully pork chile verde

 

On my way

 

You can also add soil acidifier:

Pine bark nuggets will also acidify soil ( I use them around blackberries), but rain washes them out more than pine needles.

 

That what I use but I only did one early application this year . I need to do a good pruning this winter on the BB bushes !

 

We got our bird net up just in time

blue and goose berries

hole in leg is from multiple yellow jacket stings

 

Tried a new one for us yesterday. Yellow sqaush fritters. Shredded, egg and cheese added, patted out and fried. Wow what we've been missing.

 

I will tell my Yellowjacket story if I live

 

I used to think gas was the best way to kill them, now I use a propane torch so they suffer a little bit more.

 

Receipe please? We eat a lot of squash.

 

I started using that stuff this year.
