Blueberries

[TJay]

When we built this house I planted some blueberry bushes and I get some blueberries every year. One of the bushes is a pink lemonade and for the first time it looks like it's going to have more than a handful which is exciting. Anyway I was walking around the house and dang if there ain't blueberries growing all around the house! I guess it's from the birds eating my planted berries and spreading them around. I don't know how they'll do, most of them do have a few berries on them. At least the critters will be happy.

I got high bush and some low ones. Wild ones and a few planted ones.
The low ones I have never seen a berry on, but the deer eat them.
The high ones have a few berries regularly, but the deer keep them trimmed.

My mother in law across the road has 10 blueberry bushes planted across the road. They are loaded.

Do ya'll cover your bushes with netting to keep the birds away? I have two and the birds tear them up.

What Mag said. Birds will destroy them if not netted, according to my inlaws.

That is something I need to look into.

Use fake snakes (thank you mom), metal ribbon, and a fake owl that we move weekly. Birds don't cause much problems.......
