Transplanting


Last Monday, Dad, Brian and Logan, with the help of the loader tractor, transplanted eight blueberries plants. The bushes were overgrown at the end of one row, making it difficult to mow between the rows. So the owner told us we could have those bushes. 

The plants can only be moved when they are dormant, and since we didn't complete the task last fall, we had to wait until the ground thawed this spring. Unfortunately when the ground thaws it becomes squishy and the boys had a challenge to remove the bushes without getting the tractor stuck.

  1. But when you're eating the delicious blue berries it will have been worth all the work!
