Season is delayed?… maybe even cancelled? 🙁
It’s sad, but its the truth. We don’t really know what to do because there are so few berries. We will continue to evaluate and keep you posted.
2023 began with a warming spell that was followed by a period of hard freezes. This is detrimental to all early fruiting plants as they bud out and bloom in February only to get frostbite and fall off in March. When this happens, you have to wait until next year for the plant to bud out again. With so many varieties, it also takes a while to realize the extent of frost damage.
More weird weather
When its still cold going into Memorial Day weekend, that’s definitely weird weather. The blueberries are not liking the situation and are behaving badly. The varieties that seemed unaffected by the late frost, are not performing as expected, so we are postponing at least 2 weeks and unfortunately, there is a chance of not opening at all this year.
Check back for updates. We appreciate all the good wishes, prayers, and patience.
