I got one that specifically claims to be self pollinating. It's a bit of an experiment for me and we'll see what happens. If I don't get any berries next year or the year after (it's like six inches tall, no joke) then I'll plant another one! LolDo you only have 1 blueberry bush? When I was planting mine I was told you needed 2 for pollination. I think it was supposed to be 2 different varieties but I’m not positive about that.
Anyway, check into it to make sure you have what you need. Maybe they have a variety that doesn’t need a 2nd for pollination.
What did you do in the garden today?

I just remembered I tossed some onions in between tomatoes. I should check on those... I was going to toss carrots in the center of the other raised row of tomatoes and now wish I did because my small carrot patch in the raised beds didn't produce well at all.

Raccoon broke an entire 3 foot graft off my fig last night - the really good one I don't know the name of. 
So I spent the whole morning cutting up the branch, re-grafting it to that tree and another tree, and stuck the remaining branches in pots to root. At least the bathroom is 80 degrees thanks to the brooders so I don't need to put a heat mat under the pots.

My folks tried that when I was a kid but then again lots of things I do much differently than my folks did and they work much better. Is this totally green tomatoes or ones with at least a little sign of color?
I can't tell you the number of times this has happened to me. Frustrating to say the least.
Okay, you guys have convinced me. I have so many beautiful big green tomatoes I am loath to waste them. I'll have to go into town and get some newspapers though.@Wee Farmer Sarah I'm glad you got figs this year!& that's what I do with the green brandywines, I pull them right before we're supposed to get a frost & let them sit inside wrapped in newspaper & I always have fresh tomatoes till Thanksgiving.
I love the look of eggplants and the flowers are really pretty but I've just never eaten them other than in baba ghanoush (which I do like) and so haven't ever cooked with it.
I normally freeze the ribcages and then use them for stock and the side belly of thin boneless muscle (I call them the flanks, darned if I know if that's the proper name) is what I make into jerky. I freeze them and when I have enough built up I make a batch. I've been tempted to bone the loins and make something fancy with them.
They really need to be whiting tomatoes. Which means not rock hard green, but those that are a point of ripe that they are turning that light green/whitish right before they go orange/yellow to red.
Oh... a good batch of baba... yum....
It was amazing and I"M far south. UP there was incredible! Not sure we'll have anther spike tonight or not. https://www.spaceweather.com/ usually if the aurora arc on the far left of the page goes orange and red, then it's a good show and they're strong.
Go for it. I heard they were brilliant over Mt. Washington.@WthrLady I keep seeing friends & fam posting pics of the Northern Lights last night - I'm dying here! Apparently it was fantastic all over. I asked DH to hop in the toter with me & head to Maine. He's ignoring me.
We're socked in with clouds and incoming storms tonight. Oh well. Last night will hold me a for little while.
