June 2018 and Blueberries Are Nigh

May 23rd, 208

I know many folks look forward to June and blueberries. Allow me to briefly review the Cline blueberry year. June 2017 ended with many customers without blueberries. A drought followed causing some damage. One hundred twenty 2 & 3 year old Duke and Legacy plants were planted in mid winter (early 2018). It will be 2 or 3 years before they produce. Existing planting survived 5 freeze events. With these freezes, Momma Nature inflicted minimal damage. Pea size berries are on every plant. A hail storm is now the most likely event to cause loss. So, monitor this site and Facebook diligently starting June 1. We will be monitoring the weather. Thank you for being a Cline Berry Farm customer.
