That pie looks beautiful. Great Job!! I made peach as there are tons of delicious local peaches available right now. I ate half of it yesterday

but my 2yr. old helped!!

I have 3 blueberry bushes and they seem to not get any bigger. We've had them for 2 years. Should I prune them? I fertilize them in the fall with aged compost.... (chicky poo and kitchen scraps)

Any suggestions?

I'm so jealous, we had blueberry bushes started and the rabbits ate them down till they died. Hopefully we'll try again and fence them in until they get established.

NIce job! Great looking pie. I have a few bushes and they have never given me many blueberries. I even used fertilizer for blueberries. I won't get any this year because my son let the chickens out one day and what I had the chickens enjoyed.

WOW! I'm jealous

My blueberry bushes aren't doing too well at the moment for whatever reason - I think a mole/vole got underneath them....and now I'm terribly aggrevated.

Hmmm...N.News is about *thinking*... 4 hours from here...

LOL!

Nice pie!
