The Sad End of Blueberry Production

I suppose that I’m fortunate to have gotten any blueberries at all this year as I planted in February and they are said not to produce in the first year. For several days I had been pulling a pint a day. On Sunday and again yesterday it was a half pint. Today and tomorrow will be the last of them. The type of bushes are called ‘Rabbiteye’ and I planted several varieties (Tif Blue, Climax, Premier,)

The kids left Sunday with a couple of quarts, so the amount of jam making I’ll be engaged in limited. On the up side, blackberries are really kickin, I’m out at the canes daily now and have been bringing a quart a day. The plants are really packed with the berries so I expect that I’ll be getting a couple of quarts a day for several days before they have given all they can.
