The Berry Update We've All Been Waiting For!!!!

I want to update on the blueberries that, if you recall, were plated on March 13th, looked pretty rough a couple days later, and that the dog dug one of them up. Well as of right now I'm really happy to report that I actually think they're going to make it! The plant that the dog dug up I placed back into the hole and put some more cotton burr around it. Yesterday I went outside to check on everything and wouldn't you know, the plant that the dog dug up is starting to get green leaves on it and seems to be doing just fine!!!! The other plant doesn't have any leaves showing up yet, but looks just as healthy as this one!

 

Because of the mulch its kind of hard to see the plant so I circled the plant in red, and circled the green leaves in blue! I really thought after the dog incident that these plants weren't going to make it, but right now I'm pretty hopeful!

 

Nicolle sent this picture to me today, apparently our strawberries have survived the winter!!!! I have not pulled the straw off of them yet, because I'm not convinced that the cold weather is 100% gone (especially since they are calling for a mixture of rain and snow tonight!). However, starting Sunday the forecast looks to be more in our favor, and I will more than likely be pulling the straw off the strawberries towards the middle of April, if not sooner!
