Turning Pink
The 2023 blueberry anticipation is on schedule! Although the blueberries are actually still green, they are getting bigger and starting to turn pink. They turn pink before they turn purple and then blue. They are a colorful fruit. So, it will be another month before they are ripe.
June is berry month – give or take a week.
The early warm temperatures this spring followed by more frost did some damage to some of the foliage and about half of the blossoms. We will still have picking of delicious antioxidant rich blueberries since we have several varieties. While its still rather cool outside now, it won’t be long before warmer temperatures will make them ripen faster and faster. They look to be on schedule for pickin’ in June.
We will keep you posted
As berry picking season gets a little closer, we will post more photos so you can see the progress they are making from turning pink to turning blue. Meanwhile, here are a few random colorful photos from today.
