Blueberry blossoms and bumblebees
Last year, if you recall, we harvested just short of 60 lbs. of blueberries.
This year, if the current crop of blossoms are anything to go by, the harvest may exceed last year’s.
Some blossoms are clustered so thickly, they seem like they’ll resemble grape clusters when ripe.
While I’ve seen some honeybees among the flowers, the primary pollinators are bumblebees. We have hundreds.
Picking won’t commence until early July or so, and then the harvest will be spread over several weeks.
Last year, with so many berries, we ended up giving a lot of them away. I gave about 20 lbs. of frozen berries to our very nice UPS driver (whose wife also cans). Also I brought a bunch of canned blueberries to church and gave them away, the only stipulation being that people return the canning jars when they were finished.
I was speculating to Younger Daughter how many pounds of berries we might get this year, and she had a very good suggestion: Why not try making blueberry wine? Don gave me a winemaking kit a few years ago, just before we moved, and I haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
I have a feeling I know where most of this year’s blueberry crop might go.
