Good pic. I love blueberries and like to bake. Good combination.

I ordered 28 new fruit trees for the family orchard on Monday and 4 southern highbush blueberry plants. Will have to doctor the soil here to get blueberries to grow, they require slightly acid soil and ours is alkali. Will peatmoss mulch the beds and add sulfur slowly.

I like fruit. We had a great plum crop this year and the persimmon crop was about the best I remember. Made lots of jelly and froze plum juice to make more later.

Ate my fill of ripe persimmons, froze ripe persimmon pulp and dried quite a few for the first time.

It will take a couple of years to get the new trees established, but I look forward to more selection after that.

That won’t be dependent on General Mills.
