Picture - Overloaded blue berry bush.

Not sure how or why this bush is so tall and spindly. Nor how it got so overloaded. The other bushes seemed to put out branches every few inches in all directions as they grew. Also this is the most berries that are on any one branch of any of my plants this year.

... so, for the 1st time in 10+ years of growing blueberries I tied this one up. I did not want the branch to break under the weight and loose all those berries.

Hopefully the blue berries turn out better than the strawberries did.

The few strawberries I eat in the garden are good. But the ones I wash up and eat in the house are so-so, even with cream and sugar.

I do not expect any black berries as none of last years vines came back, only new shoots.

And the deer (?) or rabbits ate off most of the raspberries and I haven't even looked at those yet.

We have spent very little time at home and the season has been very dry so everything is struggling this year.
