Blueberries and Bees

In my first attempt to grow blueberries, I was unhappy with the fruit set. This year the number of bees visiting the blueberries was also low due to poor weather.

In desperation, I stole a blooming broccoli from Mosaicmom’s garden and used it as an attractant for the little buzzers! It worked. They came for the broccoli and found the luscious blueberry flowers and now I am scanning the internet for blueberry recipes.

So in a couple of weeks, we will have fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and loquats simultaneously. Our fruit life is good.
