Pine logs for blueberries
With the overshadowing trees down and the
ground dry, I finally put our wedding blueberries into the ground
Wednesday afternoon. Their new home is on a bit of a slant, so I
dragged some decaying pine trunks out of the woods to form an erosion
barrier on the downhill side of each row. I'm hoping that the
rotting wood will provide nutrients for the blueberries and acidify the
soil a bit, too. Since pines and blueberries are often partners
in nature, it's possible that some helpful fungi will come along for
the ride and pep our little bushes up.
With my last few gasps of energy, I planted parsley, carrots, and
poppies in the garden. My various clients all need computer work
done ASAP, so I guess it's a good thing it's supposed to rain tomorrow
and keep me indoors....
