We finally have a nice day, after 2 nights of snow predicted. No snow, but it was woodstove weather. I don’t see how today can be near 70 after being near freezing last night.

Anyway it is delightful out. I spent a happy hour or 2 with my 8 blueberry plants - 5 one-year old and 3 older-but-stunted ones that were here when we bought the place. They all have leaves, and most have blossoms, even the wee baby plants.

I picked off the blossoms (all still need to focus on getting bigger before they produce blueberries), pulled weeds, gave them acidifying fertilizer and sulfur, covered them with mulch, and watered them with rain water.

Then I was too tired to plant the garden so I came inside. I don’t know if I’m up for it this year, although I know once I get started, it is addicting.
