The blueberries are kind of our little secret. Not a lot of people grow blueberries in Colorado, our soil's all wrong for it. I read somewhere that they love peat, so we originally planted them in a trench filled with peat, and they've done well ever since. Every spring, I love the dancing little bells of blueberry blossoms. You can see where the flowers are missing, some of the blueberries are beginning.
Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
Lovely little blossoms! Who knew those were blueberries in the making!
