The weather has been almost perfect this past week which has given us the opportunity to plant our blueberry plants.
The blueberry field is just on the east side of the irrigation lake on high ground and will be a future patch for a pick-your-own type of operation. The varieties include the old time favorite Bluecrop, along with Patriot, Elliot and the early type called Duke. It may seem strange to some of you to plant in November but as I have been preaching for years, fall is for planting.
We’ve harvested are first batch of pine branches for our cascading grave blankets and pillows and we’ll harvest the blue spruce branches we need about a week from now so that they remain fresh when we store them outside.
Again, tress and shrubs for planting are still available with some of the trees at a good buy on the 50% off sale until mid-November.
Other happenings at the nursery include the installation of a new roof on our store building, the replacement of our worn out main sidewalk and the continuing construction of our new movable roof greenhouse for producing more and higher quality perennials.
So it’s been a busy November!
