Anyone grow blueberries?

@part-time-Farmer-NC that's quite the blackberry setup! How many acres of them do you have? What do you do with all the berries?

All the best, Peter

Sorry just returning from our SD turkey hunting trip.

WE have just about an acre. 125' x 7 rows today, gonna add 3 more rows soon as I get the space cleaned and prepped.

We have a pick your own farm so Blackberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, grapes, japanese persimmons and pecans are the bulk of what we sell. Some garden stuffs when there is an overage that we or the family don't need.

Grandson and I got drawn for a Merriam turkey tag. Sooo. We took advantage of it, the call of the wild. Drove from NC to Rapid city, then meandered through the black hills. Saw lots of turkey,almost all Jakes or hens. No I don't know a soul there. Grandson is on a quest to "capture" the 50 states (as I did) so we added 10 new states to his never been to before. Great time to spend with him...

Also made it to Memphis bass pro. WOW... If you ever get a chance its a must see. glad we took a breather there.

When I got back there is never a shortage of "stuff" to do on a farm. Finished my drip irrigation, planted melons, pole beans, squash and got them added to the drip. Found a few leaks I had to fix too.

Nice. I have family near Sturgis. The Black Hills are one of my favorite places.

It was fun to see the places out there like Sturgis, Deadwood, MT Rushmore, Crazy horse. I'd go back even though I've been a few times already...
