A berry farm--my wish
I just got a blueberry plant in the mail that I ordered in February. It is sitting by my kitchen sink because I can't plant it anywhere yet--too cold and muddy! But everytime I look at it I think that I want to live on a berry farm. I love berries! 4 years ago I planted 50 strawberry plants, and last year I had strawberries coming out of my ears! 5 years ago I planted 5 blackberry bushes, and for the last two years we have had more blackberries than I know what to do with. 2 years ago I planted 6 raspberry bushes and they all died, so I tried again. I planted 6 more and 2 died. The 4 that lived have not been very productive, so I am thinking that raspberries will not have a place at my berry farm, but I am super excited to try my luck with the blueberries! I could eat berries everyday of the year and not tire of them. Are any of you berry farmers? or wanna-be berry farmers (like me)? Just saying I am so ready for summer, and it snowed today! Ugh! I want to get going on my berry farm and get my blueberry bush off my kitchen counter :)
