Farm Journal ~ March
Picture
The blueberry plants had a fresh blanket of snowy insulation as March began.

As you can see from the photograph, not only was there snow but plenty of new growth on the plants from last year. These will not bear fruit this summer but two seasons from now. They do show a healthy plant though.

We always encourage new growth with our spring pruning: a mix of older canes, middle-aged canes, and a fresh crop of youthful ones. This keeps the plants stable and bearing healthy, tasty fruit. Pruning begins this month, weather permitting.

The canes were just beginning to show a touch of spring color before the snow, a subtle shade of amber rather than their wintery crimson- hard to see in this image, but the end of their dormancy has begun.
