Farm Journal ~ March
On March 1st the blueberry plants still look like their winter selves but there is a slight change in coloration that grows ever more noticeable by the day. Although the spring equinox is several weeks away, the 1st is the first day of meterological spring.
It's a wonderful time of year with anticipation in the air and stirrings in the ground.
This will be a quieter month at the farm than usual as we are beginning the gradual process of slowing things down, returning to the good old days, 50 years ago, when the farm first opened. Yes, it is our Jubilee Year. We will not be doing much in the way of pruning and the nets will not be going up. The berries will be fine for some time and we will still be open for you to come by and pick some in July. We are looking forward to the change.
