For the last month the weather here has been unseasonably warm and sunny. This has given the berries a great running start.
While watering the containers today, after another fine day in the mid eighties, I had a few exciting surprises waiting for me…
1.) The strawberry blossoms are starting already. There are only four, so far, but it’s a start.
2.) Both transplant blueberries are showing signs of life. I don’t have high expectations for either of them this year, but maybe next year.
3.) Every branch on the cherry tree is budding! I was wondering if it would make it. It was in pretty rough shape when I did the spring cleanup a few weeks ago. This was a pleasant surprise.
