Aha, there you are! I have read it’s best to have more than one blueberry bush, and you have “bushes” - but I think (??) that having more than one variety helps pollination? I COULD easily be wrong. I grew up on acreage that had and abundance of wild blueberries so that is what I am familiar with. Your garden sounds great. Got any zucchinis growing?

Wish I did! The lady across the street and her husband, though, always have zucchini in abundance (and 7ellow squash and spaghetti squash also). They always give generously, and are real Godsends. :-)

Out of the 4 parsnips that sprouted, one of them has a second set of leaves starting, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Funny thing is, I've got tomatoes sprouting where I did NOT put any seeds. Have no idea how that happened. Birds, maybe?

I've read that too, but Home Depot only had the one kind at the time I bought them, so I bought 3. For some reason, a bunch of clover is growing in various spots in the yard, which seems to have attracted a fair number of bees to help pollinate stuff.

I'd make a lousy farmer, but it's kind of fun trying to grow stuff. Heh.
