Blueberry Update

I photographed the Ira blueberry on June 15th. Here it is today July 7th.
 The berries although some are blue they are not yet sweet.
 I have picked at least 5 lbs from Premier the first to ripen and there are still some to come despite Harry Houdini Mockingbirds.

The mockingbirds are blueberry mad. They had figured out a way to get into the cage between the chicken wire & the plastic bird netting. After much chasing and capture & releasing we got them out and stitched the two fences together. One is still guarding the cage & fighting off intruders even though he/she can't get in. I saw it bouncing on the plastic netting ceiling as if a trampoline.
