The blueberries that I should have trimmed off my new ‘Chippewa’ blueberry plant are starting to ripen. I like my blueberries a little tart, so I’ve been picking them and stuffing them in my mouth before they’re truly ripe. They’re very yummy—juicy and full of flavor.
I’ve also been able to pick a handful of berries from my ‘Dwarf Northsky’ plants each morning.
Last year I had to share my blueberries with those pesky Japanese beetles, but so far this summer I haven’t spotted a single beetle in my yard. I hope they’ll stay away at least until I’ve devoured all the berries (or “forever” works for me too).
