First Harvest!

Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.

Haha waiting until they are ripe is sometimes a challenge.

Hopefully soon you’ll have more than you know what to do with!
- It really is!
Congrats!!! Home grown fruit is the best
- Thanks! It feels so good knowing it’s all me that did it
Yum 😋🤤
Nice! I can't wait for next year to get hopefully some berries from my plants.
- Be sure to share pics when you do! I found adding coffee grounds to be a massive help. Something about the acidity I think?
  
  Oh yeah!
  
  They very much are acid loving plants basically all berries are. I made sure to get some acid fertilizer when I planted them but another neat trick is to use evergreen clippings as mulch as it acidifies the soil too.
  
  Now I just need it to get cold again for flowers. Next year. -_-
That's about what I'm getting this year. Bad freeze this winter killed a bunch of my plants outright and set several back. Oh well, I get to plant more varieties now!
