    Wife’s picking a little over a gallon of blueberries every 3 days. She would be getting more if I didn’t eat so many of them off the bushes. Not to bad for 7 bushes that are only 7 years old. We planted 8 but one is dying on us and not producing

    How do you keep the birds fro eating everything? I have 3 bushes that I can never get anything off of because the birds get everything before the berries are ripe enough to eat.

    We’ve never had a problem with birds eating the berries. Our apple trees are another matter completely. We’ve got pie pans hanging 2 tied together, plastic snakes an a battery operated Owl that moves it’s head around

    We planted over 100 blueberries about 2 years ago. Most were seedlings but my wife bought a dozen or so bigger ones. I think the deer ate them this season.
    Our apple trees are what the deer eat
    I planted a bare root sapling and I thought they had killed it. Once they had eaten every bit of new growth they left it alone and it recovered thankfully

    Spent the day in the truckable tug. It's like driving a prison hot box lol. Good news is our second tow got postponed. Should be home around midnight Saturday.
    Great views from your cubicle at least. I wouldn't trade my job for any other. Can't even imagine going into a box all day and pushing paper. Maybe in August. :)
