Today the kids and I planted two more blueberry bushes:

These are on the back of the house, between the deck and Ellie’s back bedroom window.  One is a Northland Blueberry that should stay nice and small (3-4′) for under Ellie’s window, and the other – the one they’re watering in the picture – is a [...]
