Blueberry season is arriving in Gainesville. There are lots of u-pick farms around but most crops don't fully ripen until late May or early June. However, some have varieties that come on line in mid-May and SouthMoon is one of them. Unfortunately that variety peaked the previous weekend so pickings were slim. And by slim, I mean S-L-I-M. We still had fun and even found a local blueberry festival down the road. And by local, I mean L-O-C-A-L.... complete with a rebel flag t-shirt vendor. Don got bit by the blueberry bug and bought two plants so we can attempt our own crop next year. We have a few wild blueberry plants in our woods but it will be nice to have some big yummy ones. Now whether we can grow them or not, we'll have to see.
It's a quaint, organic farm with lots of bushes...
The end result....
