This year we have so many blueberries!
The original people who built our house planted them and they grow bigger every year. I'm so glad the deer just walk right by 'em! And I could tell they do - there is a sapling right behind the patch where you could tell a stag was rubbing his horns.
The rainy conditions we had for so long this Spring were right for a monster crop. It came about 3 weeks late because of all the rain. So far we've picked about a gallon I think? Two full quart bags for the freezer, one monster cobbler, and another batch in the fridge. And in a couple days they'll be another haul. I'm guessing 2 or 3 more gallons still to come. That is a LOT of blueberries!
I love that "wild blueberries" is "bleuets sauvages" in French. When I lived in Canada, I learned a lot of what I called "grocery store French". My pronunciation was laughable, but my visual vocabulary got quite good. "Bleuets Sauvages" cracked me up so much because... savage blueberries!
Thanks, Terry for helping me pick yesterday - and you'll have to try the cobbler when it's fresh next time!
