Blueberry Garden

Every summer, while running with a camera and photographing my flowers, I constantly check how many berries the birds left on the blueberry bushes.
I find out branches, all strewn with berries and calm down. Such a beauty. Although she is every year.

The closer the spring, the more you look at different sites and catalogs. I want to buy something new from flowers or berry bushes.
In the summer I planted 5 new blueberry bushes and now I look forward to the harvest.
Golubiku garden planted immediately, as bought the estate. At first, it grew on clay soil for a couple of years, fruited a little, but the bushes sat and did not move. Then I had to transplant the technology, since blueberry is a big fan of acidic soils. They dug the pits and poured them with peat. In such an earthen mixture and transplanted all the bushes.

Now I'm enjoying myself every year, if I have time before birds. Too her thrushes and jays love.
The berries of the garden blueberry are very large, almost the size of a cherry.
To taste, however, differ from the wild, not so fragrant, but when you tear them off a branch, there are no tails left. Yes, and the shape of the blueberry berry is more like a large blueberry.

From blueberries, you can brew jam and make liqueurs or liqueurs. But it's best to eat it fresh, it's more useful.
In the old days, blueberries were called in different ways: gonabol, drunkard, drunkard, gonabolle. Such sordid names were given due to the fact that after boron berries in the swamp, people had a very bad headache.
And since at harvest all eat berries, then headache, and intoxication, all attributed and blamed on the use of blueberries and gave then these strange names.
But everything is simpler, simple. From blueberries you can not get drunk. Remember the swamps, there is a lot of rosemary and a headache, fatigue, and sometimes nausea, a person gets smelled of the aroma emanated from this plant.
Ledum intoxicates. Remember this.
And so that your head does not hurt and you do not have to go to the swamp to collect blueberries, plant it in your gardens.
Good luck to all!
