Today let’s learn about the difference between a fruit bud and a leaf bud. There are 2 types of buds on a blueberry plant. The sharp pointed tips of the leaf bud are now starting to peek their tips out.
The fruit buds which are more red in the photo below, are preparing to open to allow honey bees to pollinate them.It’s blossom will produce several berries. At this stage, we are about six weeks from first fruit. It’s also time to give the berries a little fertilizer to help them with the energy they will need to produce all those berries and bush growth. We have two more does who will kid in early April. We will have cute baby goat kids pictures in the next newsletter. Thanks for joining us in our farming journey. Dave and Danielle |
