Beautiful Evergreen Blueberry Bushes


The Sunshine Blueberry bushes are showing lots of new growth this month. 

The raindrops on the branches are quite pretty.
The evergreen blueberries are enjoying the autumn rains.

Liberty Apples!


This is today's harvest of Liberty apples from our best dwarf apple tree.  It's a reliable and consistent producer.  There are still about twenty more apples left on the tree.
