We have lost some of our crop also, but are blessed by many remaining healthy blossoms and developing berries. Our crop will certainly be diminished, but we expect a decent amount of blueberries for market and u-pick. The remaining berries may be bigger than usual. Blueberries are damaged at 28 degrees F and it was down to 26 degrees on April 22.]]> http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=1202 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1201 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1201#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 07:22:17 +0000 Jim Farm Headlines http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1201 and “like” us.]]> http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=1201 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1200 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1200#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 07:09:43 +0000 Jim Farm Headlines Strawberries http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1200 The first few strawberries are almost ripe.

This is about a month earlier than we’ve seen in the last 10 years. We typically get ripe blueberries about 5 to 6 weeks after the flowers. So it looks like blueberries may even be available in May — if a hard frost doesn’t destroy the early flowers. Please check back in early May.]]> http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=1197 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1196 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1196#comments Mon, 26 Mar 2012 19:58:10 +0000 Jim Rhubarb http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/main.php?p=1196 http://www.plowcreek.org/farm/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=1196
