Heat Popping Blues!

Early Blue Variety

Duke variety on the top of hill (by the house)
Well, the 90 degree weather is making the Duke variety pop out the blues.  I picked a handful this afternoon and they're tasting pretty good.  We had thought that the late freeze would make the berries hold off on ripening until mid-June, but these 90 degree temps and high heat index numbers are popping the blue right out!
Duke Blueberries 5.28.18





We're planning to be open on Saturday morning 7.2.18 for picking on this variety of blueberries.  We don't have that many rows of Duke, but there's enough for a few people to pick.  There are 3 half rows in the valley and 4 rows up the hill by the house so there should be several gallons there by Saturday to start the season off!

So - see you soon picking the Duke!
