Blueberries

[sakon76]

It's apparently National Blueberry Pie Day. Which was a thing I didn't know we had, and which I fully support. This morning I mentioned this to my husband, and told him that I didn't think there were enough blueberries on the one currently producing bush to make a pie. There's like a double handful of ripe ones this year - I'm spacing them out to better savor them. Squiddle and myself and whoever else is around get one or two each morning.

So on the way home from my Stroller-Striders-walk-that-wasn't, I stopped at the store and got frozen blueberries. And, as one does, turned them into a pie.

Wonderful Husband does not know there is pie. :) I look forward to surprising him.

And, completely unknowing anything about Blueberry Pie Day, last night I'd written in my planner for today to plant another blueberry bush. I splurged and potted up two instead. Only three more to go! (I need to get more potting soil first.) Then I shall have eight blueberry bushes dotted around the kitchen garden, hopefully giving more and more fruit each year.

Yay blueberries! I planted two in the yard last year, but they don't seem to be thriving (soil is probably too alkaline, despite trying to amend it a little) - maybe I'll give pots a try, that's an idea.
