Gardening is about cycles and rhythms.  Last year, the blueberries took the year off, producing basically half of what they do in a good year.  This year, on the other hand, the bushes are outdoing themselves.  Ridiculous abundance.  These will be ripe in a few weeks.

I have some cuttings of this particular plant – the undisputed champion of my vaccinium patch – rooting in the nursery, and hope to put them out in the food forest once they are well established.  I need to get the bird defenses established on the vaccinium patch, or the Black-headed Grosbeaks (Pheucticus melanocephalus) will eat everything.
