Blueberry picking has started...

We picked 12 qts of blueberries today and 3 qts of blackberries...busy morning.

Our 40 bush patch of blueberries...



Today’s haul.....


Our picking buckets...



Our breakfast lol! Like a super mega dose of antioxidants.

 

Blueberry picking is almost over here. I've probably given away 5 gallons so far. And eaten about the same.

I only have 4 bushes though.

 

Looks delicious. We picked a lot when we go north fishing. Nothing like fresh blueberry pancakes

 

That's a great frkin breakfast

 

Love the photos

 

Makes me hungry seeing all those fresh berries. Do you ship?

 

Would be cool if you could find a way to ship. Those looks really good. Would probably have to freeze and pack in dry ice?
Can anyone say blueberry pancakes? Yumm

 

Hard to tell from the picture but do you have to net the bushes to keep the birds out of them? We have 4 bushes at home that are still fairly small but starting to produce quite a bit. Birds ate everything a couple years ago so now I have to put a net over them every year.

 

Last year birds and rain got most of them. But this year we didn't have any problems with that.

Wonder if they had plenty other stuff this year.

 

We had blue berries and raspberries growing behind our ranch house in Oregon as a kid. Black berries everywhere. Our sheep would get caught up in the black berries. Pretty stupid actually. They would basically just stand there until we'd cut em loose.

 

Yes we net all of the bushes for birds and deer. We installed a auto drip system last year to keep em watered.
Each bush gets 4 gal of water a day.

 

I would love berry bushes in my backyard! I'm sure the Texas heat would annihilate them though.

They look amazing @Patriot

 

Thanks Bree, Lots of work picking, but worth it!

Another couple gallons yesterday morning...this was the first early morning pick.

 

That's awesome! I love them.

 

I was at my cabin this weekend, and checked out the wild blueberries...not quite yet here in PA. Lot's of green berries, no color yet. Soon.....!

 

Blackberries are my favorite. Picked these yesterday

 

Here’s a few quarts of our wild blackberries....

 

Cool. When I lived in CT as a kid we would go hiking and come across blue berries and black berries, pick the heck out of them. A ranch here in OK I worked as a teen had wild black berries growing on it, I had access to all I wanted, great times..

 

And beer?

 

3 words...Blueberry BBQ Sauce
It be da shit

 

I'm quite jealous of all this berry picking me
