Farm Journal- April

Ah, could it be Spring at last? It is hard to say how quickly the bushes will respond to the warmth and spring light but there is a lot of pruning work to do- just begun this week. We have a feeling we'll be scrambling by month's end. The blueberries fared well over the winter. Cold does not harm them- unless it is extreme and of prolonged duration- but the weight of the ice encrusted snow did do some damage to the lower limbs. Pruning will take care of that. Each bush will be thoroughly gone over, as they are every spring.

It does feel great to be back out in the field again.
