* wonderful * “would you like to try one?” More than his cute reaction to the blueberries I’m even more impressed with his heart to share !

[karenbuchanan]

Watching Benjamin how he interacts with other people really is heartwarming. What is he 3 1/2 going on 20 LOL? It shows his kindness sharing his blueberries and saying thank you, it shows your wonderful parenting skills. I also believe his vocabulary is way beyond his age group

No wonder Benjamin is so sweet, he is made of sweet berries.

OMG Laura ! What baby boy talks like that? “wonderful”! And his reaction eating the berry is priceless! Adorable little man with beautiful blue eyes like his mama! Enjoy every moment.❤️

I love the way the new property is evolving. And of course, seeing Benjamin’s delight in the garden is a bonus! 💕

Love Benjamin’s adorable little hip wiggle while eating blueberries. Such joy, such innocence, such connection to nature.

[Finnswife]

Love the look of the galvanized metal and the black fence and mulch.

Laura inspires me every morning to get outside and get busy. Good morning, everyone!!

Laura, I work for a third generation berry farm in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Blue Crop variety is our best mid-season wonderfully flavored and large blueberry variety. For an earlier variety, plant some Duke Blueberries. You'll have blueberries for at least two straight months if you plant just those two varieties. Blue Crop are hearty, but all blueberries do need enough daily water in heat but will suffer from root rot in water is allowed to pool in the root system.

Coffee and Laura. Great Saturday morning.

I like the trough idea. Lots of deep root space in those. I live in Colorado where we also have very alkaline soil. I grow my blueberries in half barrels that have been placed in the middle of 15 inch tall, 4'x4' raised beds. I fill my half barrels with a mixture of peat moss and perlite, then I add some greensand, soil acidifier, and espoma berry fertilizer, fish bone meal, and kelp meal for nutrients. The raised beds are filled with regular raised bed potting soil and planted with strawberries. To winterize the blueberries I have PVC pipe arches in the beds, then I wrap the blueberries lightly with burlap, and drape Dewitt Ultimate 2.5 oz plant frost protection cloth over each raised bed, attaching the frost cloth with pvc clips. This system protects the blueberries for the extreme temperature shifts that we have here in the Front Range region of Colorado. Before I started using the Dewitt frost cloth I would loose most of the branches the first two years that I grew them. Now I have thriving plants that are about 3.5 feet tall. One other note. I put back, perforated plastic weed block on top of the blueberry barrel soil, and then cover that with a mulch of compost to keep their roots moist and cool. I hope this helps anyone who wants to grow blueberries in the mountain west region.

Everything is coming together so beautifully. You guys are amazing. Benjamin is just so adorable. 🍓

This spot is going to be Benjamin's favourite... We will see him out here in July eating his favourite berries and for sure that will be a delightful thing to watch

[debdd]

You have such a great heart which is manifested in Benjamin’s heart! When he said wonderful I smiled so big! He’s such a loving sweet little guy. God bless you. ❤️

Suggestion: keep the evergreen clippings from your property to compost separately along with your coffee grounds. Use that compost exclusively for your blueberries. Our blueberries produced 21 gallons last year from fourteen bushes.
