This is real! I bought a native blueberry bush, called Southern Highbush "Misty."It's in my yard, happily potted in acid soil and protected from wind. Looks like I will have to protect it from birds, soon, too. I got the netting already.
I had no idea there would be fruit the first season. I haven't tasted any yet, but I just may fall in love with blueberries.
There are now five kinds of fruit growing chez moi; six if you count the lemons.
It makes me happy, not an easy thing during this miserable gloomy weather.

HE DOESN'T KNOW IF THAT'S A PHOTO OF HIS WEINER?
Congrats on the blueberries, already!
From his very careful wording, I think he did take the photo and it is his - but someone else hacked it and sent it. Jon Stewart has been hilarious about this even though Weiner is a friend of his.
Blueberries = happy. Gonna get one more plant, for reproductive (pollination) purposes.
How does someone lose control of a photo of his dick? Jon Stewart said, "It's not that big!" Weiner just likes thinking people might confuse him with a guy with large crotch issues. Does he not even recognize his own underwear? Men.
Men and their dickish behavior with their dicks seems to be in the news a lot lately.
Nancy: Yes, and you want to say they're all Rethugs, but... no. Men. Jeesh.
I am thrilled that you decided to plant blueberries! They are a favorite of mine; so good for us, too.
(I ruined a beautiful yellow dress by spilling blueberry pie on it when I was 12. My mom, who'd had identical dresses made for herself, me, and my baby sister, was more than a little put out.)
Cheryl: oh, yes, the mother-daughter dresses. I feel for her.
We are excited about the new bush and might get a second one, for fecundity reasons. And they are so pretty, really.
It's beautiful :)
O, and WHO lost control of a photo of hes peen?
Mouse: We have a representative to Congress who is supposedly being framed for sending a naughty pic to a college Tweeter. He says he can't definitively say it is or is not a photo of his dong. (It's covered by underwear, thankgod.)
@Ms Mouse, the media is having a field day as his name is Weiner (pronounced weener), which is already a slang term for penis. Our media is so serious and responsible, aren't they? They remind me forcibly of eight-year old boys giggling at dirty jokes.
I obviously live under a rock (or in the garden) because I spent several minutes looking for the hidden penis in the blueberry picture.
Tra la.
EatClose: Well, I hope that was a few minutes of fun for you! Hmm. Could I Photoshop that?
So jealous! Our garden of the last 30 years has been devastated by the deer. The next door neighbor throws food scraps at them and has lured about a dozen. They eat our vegetables as a starter salad.Grrrr!
Greg: Around here you can't grow food without a fence. Our house is the first fenced yard I've had in years. I am so lucky.
The rain today in Marin is ridiculous! It's June already and I could be outside harvesting my blueberries but I'm stuck inside.
Me: Who are you, Me. I looked at your profile, and you are brand-new. I'm so pleased you bothered to leave a comment. What town are you in?
