Delicious Blueberry Huge mix blend of Seeds, Organic Fruit, Ornamental, Superfood, Antioxidant B25 Nothing Tastes Better Than Fresh Blueberries Picked From Your Own Garden! Blueberry mixed seeds. Evergreen shrub, fruit is a berry blue/black waxy appearance. A high tolerance to high summer temps. Drought tolerance delivers superior fruit quality. Also grown as ornamental
Early yields Large berries of excellent quality May bloom in fall in warm climates Great fall ornamental Easy to grow Requires little care Pests and disease resistant High in Anthocyanins and antioxidants
Tips & Fun Facts for Caring for Blueberry Plants 1. Blueberries love Acidic Soil! 2. They Need to Be Pruned. 3. Select an elevated site, such as a hill. If one does not exist, plant blueberries in a raised bed. 4. Make sure your planting location has good drainage. 5. Test the soil before planting. Blueberries like acidic soil with a pH range between 4.8 to 5.2. 6. Space plants six feet apart. 7. Plant at least two varieties for cross-pollination. 8. Water the plant after planting and top the soil surrounding the plant with sawdust mulch. 9. Remove all flower buds at the time of planting to encourage strong root development. 10. Weed early in the spring, before harvest season begins. 11. Keep a 2 to 3-foot weed-free circle surrounding each blueberry bush. This has been proven to increase the yield of berries produced. 12. Young blueberry plants can easily be damaged by weed-eaters. To protect tender plants, place a thick tree protector around the base of each plant. With a little care, an established blueberry plant will produce berries for 20 to 30 years before needing to be replaced.
Did You Know? They require full sun, well-drained soil, and a low pH between 4.5 and 5.5 Grow varieties that are suited to your climate. Plant several varieties to ensure proper pollination and a plentiful bounty of fruit. To extend the harvest season, plant different types that produce fruit in early, mid and late summer. The fruit is very high in antioxidants. They are also high in vitamin C and a good source of vitamin E. They are one of the only natural foods that are actually blue in color. Store fresh crops in an open container to reduce condensation, and keep in the refrigerator. Do not wash freshly picked crop until just before serving. Freeze fresh blueberries! Place unwashed ones in a single layer on a sheet tray, and place in the freezer. Store frozen berries in a plastic storage bag. Native Americans called them "star berries" because the shape of the flower resembles a star shape.
This Blueberry blend has delicious fruits, outstanding flavors, beautiful spring flowers, and brilliant fall colors in a range of sizes and ripening dates. They are wonderful eaten fresh and are perfect for freezing.
Start the blueberry season off with large, high-quality, flavorful berries. Blueberry Plant is one of the earliest ripening southern highbush varieties. The large berries are of excellent quality and are tops for fresh eating as well as baked into pies or other desserts. This plant will often start blooming in the fall in the southern half of zone 8 and into zone 9, and continues blooming during warm periods until normal bloom time. The main crop ripens in late April to May. The plants grow 6 ft. tall and, while self-pollinating, produce larger yields when other blueberry plants are planted for cross-pollination. Zones 7-9.
The blend may contain some of these varieties depending on the season, and availability. We can not guarantee all varieties since they are mixed and randomly packed. Varieties: [northern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum), lowbush species (V. angustifolium), V. virgatum] Northern And Southern Highbush, midnight cascade, chippewa, mini blues, native blue, northcountry, top hat, burgundy, notyhsky, velvetleaf, aurora, bluecrop, baby blues, blueray, bluejay, brigita, chandler, cabernet splash, darrow, draper, Brigitta, Duke, Gulf Coast, Jersey, Sunshine Blue, earliblue, elliott, hannah's choice, liberty, patriot, pink icing, pink popcorn, razz, rubel, spartan, superior, sweetheart, toro, emerald, jewel, jubilee, legacy, misty, nocturne, norman, ochlockonee rabbit-eye, o'neal, pink lemonade, sunshine blue, and much more.
Growing Blueberries from seeds ------------------------------- Beginning with the most challenging option, you can grow blueberries from seed, but it will obviously take longer to produce your first harvest than it would if you started with established plants.
Seeds can be purchased or you can extract them from the berries. Keep in mind that seeds from hybrid plants won’t grow true to the parent.
To extract seeds, place a cup of blueberries in a blender with four cups of water. Run it on high for 15 seconds and then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Eventually, the pulp will rise to the top and the seeds will sink to the bottom.
Pour out the pulp, add more water to replace what you poured out, and set it aside for another five minutes. Repeat until you get clear water with blueberry seeds at the bottom.
A few months before the last frost date in your area, sprinkle your seeds over a container filled with moistened peat moss.
Place a thin layer of peat on top to cover. Cover the tray with a piece of plastic or a humidity dome to keep the moisture in. Keep the seeds around 60-70°F.
Now comes the waiting game. Every time I’ve done this I’m pretty sure my seeds are duds and I get ready to toss the whole thing out, only to see the little green seedlings stick their heads out of the peat.
That’s because it can take a month or two – or sometimes three! – for seeds to germinate. And I’m impatient.
Once seedlings are about three inches tall, remove them from the peat and put each one in a six-inch pot filled with equal parts peat, sand, and potting soil.
Keep the medium moist but not wet, and put the seedlings in a spot where they receive about six hours of sun a day.

Harden off seedlings by placing them outside in a sheltered spot with indirect light for one hour, and then bring it back indoors. Repeat this, adding an hour each day for a week, until they can spend the full day outside.
Because the seeds need such carefully controlled conditions, direct sowing in the garden isn’t recommended.
Planting the Bushes ------------------------------- The ideal time to plant blueberries is when the plant is dormant, before fruit appears. They may be planted in either the fall or spring. It generally takes three to five years for a blueberry plant to produce a good yield, but even the smallest plants will have some berries in the first or second summer. Left unpruned, blueberry plants will reach a height of 10 to 12 feet! Spring is the best time to plant a new blueberry bush. Dig a hole twice as deep and twice as wide as the nursery pot, and amend the soil with compost. Test your soil to determine the pH level and if needed, add peat moss or a fertilizer formulated for azaleas.
Mulch the planting bed with 3 to 4 inches of wood chips, and keep the new plant well watered until it becomes firmly established. They have a shallow root system and the mulch helps to retain moisture while inhibiting weeds.
The plants are fast growers, and begin to produce fruit in their third or fourth year of growth.
Harvesting a Fresh Batch ------------------------------- It's hard to beat the taste of a freshly picked blueberry!
Depending on the variety, the crop begins to ripen in early summer. The clumps of greenish berries begin to turn reddish-purple, and the color deepens as the berry ripens. Ripe fruit is a lustrous, deep purple, and a gentle tug is all that's needed to encourage the berry to release its grip from the plant. Shaking a branch lightly over a basket or sheet of newspaper will result in a pile of ripened produce.
The fruit will continue to ripen for several weeks and in our area, we pick berries every few days from late June through early August. Planting several different varieties that ripen in early, mid and late summer extends the harvest season. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/delicious-blueberry-huge-mix-blend-of-seeds-organic-fruit-ornamental-superfood-antioxidant-b25

Winter made an encore appearance to the Central Appalachians this past week, with some locations above 3000 feet receiving a foot or more of snow. By Friday, all that nasty cold and freezing precipitation had moved out and spring returned with a vengeance today, with temperatures in the upper sixties to low seventies. It was a perfect day to explore the ancient sphagnum bog at Cranesville Swamp Preserve, whose boreal wetlands community owes its existence to the cool temperatures provided by the frost pocket in which it nestles. From top: small cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos) and eastern teaberry (Gaultheria procumbens) grow from a sphagnum hummock; lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium); eastern skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) growing in a damp spot near the bog’s edge; fringed polygala (Polygaloides paucifolia); dwarf ginseng (Panax trifolius); goldthread (Coptis trifolia); and downy serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea).

This apple tree was sold to me in 1999 as a semi-dwarf Stayman Winesap. It is not semi-dwarf; it is in fact gigantic by apple tree standards. It isn't Stayman Winesap, or even red at all. Because I planted it in the correct spacing for smaller trees, it has almost completely overshadowed its nearest neighbor, a rather nice Golden Delicious. It responds to pruning by aggressively getting Much Larger. The apples are divine. I love her; I'm vexed by her; I hope she lives forever. I'm deeply curious about what I'd get if I planted some of her seeds.
Tumblr media
Strawberries, rhubarb, two small blueberry bushes, and Nanking cherry bushes that did, even though their blooming time was cold, set fruit. I will continue to try to acidify the blueberries; maybe add some acid once a week until the soil tests around 5 pH.

i imagine Corlys + Mushroom would’ve been something similar to Stefan Baratheon + Patchface whereas Corlys perhaps stumbled upon him during a voyage across the Narrow Sea and purchased Mushroom’s freedom to bring back to court just in time for the reader’s nameday celebration. and she spends most the day laughing at his antics and jokes much to some of the family’s displeasure. it’s Daemon who warns Viserys that the dwarf will be a bad influence and Viserys goes to brush off his brother’s concerns but Alicent much to everyone surprise back him up on the claim as she stares in disdain as the reader and Mushroom are taking turns attempting to throw blueberries into each other’s mouths. any words of worry fall onto deaf ears as the king relishes in the sound his his daughter’s laughter ringing through the feast hall. when the celebrations come to an end, it’s Corlys who offers Mushroom a lockbox containing enough gold to last the boy ten lifetimes, all to remain in the reader’s company. once Viserys hears that Mushroom intends to stay, the king order’s a room and handmaiden readied for him at once.
I love that! Imagining Mushroom looking at Alicent and Daemon glaring at him when he's having fun with the reader knowing full well he has the protection of the king.

Gardening with A Disability
Everyone answering my gardening questions has been so helpful and kind. It's made me feel a lot better than when I started the week, but I've reached a point where I'm getting quite a bit of advice thrown at me all at once and it's getting difficult to keep track of it all, so I'm going to note it all down here!
Recommended Plants:
Mint, Tomatoes (Regular, Cherry), Cucumber, Radishes, Strawberries, Peppers. Aubergines, Potatoes, Squash, Lettuces, Chard (Swiss), Beets, Spring Onions, Garlic, French Beans (Specifically Dwarf French), Carrots, Kale, Spinach, Onion, Celery, Bush Beans, Blueberries, Bok Choy, Zucchini, Edible Flowers, Sunflowers, Green Beans, Currants, Lavender, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Sage
Methods:
Fabric Pots
Raised Beds* I was pointed towards Vego garden beds as a starting point. They are quite expensive but I think it's still worth a look to see what you might consider with raised beds.
Trellises
Gallon Buckets
Grow bags in inflatable kiddie pools with a few holes drilled inches from the bottom
Bottomless Pots
Grow Tents and Greenhouses
Nursery Plants
Vertical Grow Towers* Was helpfully linked to this site.
Soil and hay bales
Soaker hoses on the topsoil of small raised beds
Grow bags in bins or on low tables, in 1-2 inches of water
Using a grabber to weed
Long handled tools
Things to Note:
Someone recommended if growing potatoes not to do them in pots as you generally have to lift the pot and tip it over to harvest them.
You can specifically get "container-sized" varieties of plants.
If looking into growing squash and cucumber in pots, look for "bush" varieties, or get "short and wide" trellises for the vines so they're not on the floor.
Big pots for aubergines.
Vertical grow towers are useful because they spin and you can adjust the height, but the price is a bit expensive.
Peppers and aubergines do well in 4-5 gallon buckets.
Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes do well in 5 gallon buckets. You can grow blueberries in 5 gallons as well if they are of a "bush" variety
Bush beans do well in window boxes.
You can grow beets in window boxes but they might not get as big.
Strawberries grow well in 1-2 gallon buckets, and can be rooted into other buckets for more plants.
Bok Choy grows great in 2-3 gallon buckets and a "slightly shady" spot.
Containers need more consistent watering and fertilizer than ground plants.
"Lettuce in a “cut and come again” variety should be pretty easy to maintain but do prefer cooler weather".
Apparently immature sunflower heads are edible.
Thyme, rosemary, oregano and sage don't need much watering. Neither does lavender if outside.
Get a bag of soil specifically for container growing.
Buy already established plants and put them in containers larger than maybe necessary.

Thought I'd share a pic of how my balcony garden is doing
Tumblr media
The stand has a few plants that I don't know what they are bc they were just given to me, although top left is jasmine! There's also grape hyacinth, snapdragon, and daffodils in the hanging planter. Some violets and I think pansies down in the lower left, too.
I'm most excited about the big pots! A dwarf sweetheart cherry tree with a fuschia vine starter, then a blackberry and strawberry plant sharing a pot with some marigolds, and lastly a blueberry bush with a salvia and marigold for friendship.
I'm SO hyped to have all these berries. Not sure if they will fruit this summer (the tree def won't she's too new) but I'm pleased that they're all getting bigger and flourishing.
Also my lil cherry tree gave me a handful of flowers. I've been SO happy watching it grow. Here's a before pic from when I first brought it home:
Tumblr media
And today:
Tumblr media
And the flowers:

Sorry y'all I'm a plant nerd now so I might just have to do an excited yell abt them from time to time!

Remember Your Asemaa
There was once a boy. He lived by a creek with his grandmother. In the early evenings, he would go out before the sun set to look for things.
His grandmother had a gift. She was a maker, and she always transformed anything he brought home to her into something magical.
His grandmother taught him from very young the importance of laying your asemaa down as an offering, to say miigwetch for what you are taking from the land.
One time, the boy went out looking, offered his tobacco, and brought home a big partridge miigwan. He gave the feather to ookomisan, and she made a beautiful dreamcatcher to hang above his bed by the window.
Another time, he found a nice birch tree. He put down some asemaa and began peeling the bark. When he got home, his grandmother spent the whole weekend weaving a strong basket so they could pick more miinan.
This time, though, the boy went out and found a short, smooth piece of driftwood. As he was examining it, something else down by the water caught his eye. A small, rounded rock with a hole in the center. The boy, now excited, took the piece of wood and the rock back with him in a hurry as the sun was beginning to set.
The next morning, his grandmother admired the piece of wood he brought back before deciding what it would become. She began working and the boy sat in the corner playing with the small rock he found. He looked up, and saw a transformation take place before his very eyes. His grandmother tossed the whittled bits from her lap into the fireplace and came over to the boy with mitigo-jiimaan. He took it from her and they headed outside to the creek to test it out.
Tumblr media
He placed it down onto the water. It worked! It could float! The boy jumped up and hugged his grandmother to thank her. The boy stayed outside awhile to play with his little wooden canoe.
The next morning, the boy's grandmother was upset. She explained that when she woke up she found the small canoe she had worked so hard making had been broken in half.
Tumblr media
The boy begged his grandmother to believe that he would never break it. She thought for a moment, and asked him to calmly explain what happened the day before. When he was done, his grandmother instantly knew what had gone wrong. He had forgotten to offer tobacco. She sent the boy out with some asemaa in one half of the broken canoe, and some maple taffy in the other to offer up to memegwesiwag. She told him that the little people would accept his apology if he made sure to always offer his tobacco.
Early the next morning, the boy went to grab his special rock to take with him to go see what had happened to his canoe down by the creek. It was gone! The boy raced down to the water, hoping for some good news. His canoe wasn't there anymore, either!
The boy ran back home to his grandmother and started crying. She hugged him and told him to calm down, and that she would make him some cedar tea. The boy went to his corner by the fireplace, and couldn't believe his eyes. There was his now-fixed mitigo-jiimaan, complete with tiny, ornate carvings along where the crack had been. Inside the canoe, he found his rock turned into a necklace. His grandmother told him that he should wear it every day, to remind him to always remember his asemaa.
Tumblr media
Chi-miigwech for reading and sharing my story.
asemaa: tobacco
miigwetch: thank you
miigwan: feather
ookomisan: [his] grandmother
miinan: blueberries
memegwesiwag: little people (dwarf spirits)
mitigo-jiimaan: wooden canoe

I don’t know if you’re still doing the trick or treat thing, but I am dying for some Bagginshield fluff, featuring my favorite berry, maybe? 🥺🫐
Tumblr media
Sorry I couldn't get this out last night, but here's some blueberry fluff!
Try It?
Pairing: Bagginshield
Type of Treat: Fluffy
Word Count: 662
It was a wondrous day for a walk through the mountainside. When Thorin had asked for Bilbo’s hand, he had made sure the dwarf realized how important sunshine and outdoor walks were to him if he were to remain in Erebor. Exactly four days later, there was a balcony and hidden set of stairs outside the royal apartments. Dis and Balin did nothing but chastise Thorin for how reckless that was, but Bilbo was completely enamored with the dwarf’s ingenuity. Their wedding had been the happiest day of Bilbo’s life.
Wandering through what Bilbo referred to as ‘the gardens’ he took stock of all the plant life returning to the mountains in the wake of Smaug’s demise. Many of them Bilbo was familiar with, but there was the occasional plant or two that Bilbo had to have Ori help him look up the name for it. Nearing the end of his walking trail, Bilbo checked on what he had assumed was a tree growing in only to be met with a beautiful sight!
Fresh wild blueberries were blossoming, thick and full and nearly bursting. Bilbo’s mind was racing with all the recipes he could make with a basketful of them. He might even have enough for a pie! Taking off his jacket, Bilbo created a makeshift carrier for the berries plucking as many as he could. He cursed his inability to reach the higher ones and vowed to come back with a basket and Thorin later for a respectable berry picking. 
Once he had as many blueberries as he could manage, he folded them carefully into his jacket and carted them back up the mountainside. Not quite enough for a pie, but more than enough for some tarts! As soon as he was back in his and Thorin’s suite, he made his way straight for the kitchen. Fully stocked and furnished, a wedding gift from the family Urs. 
“Bilbo, what are you doing?” Thorin asked amused, finding him hours later covered in flour and smelling of pastry dough.
“Look! I found blueberries today! We can go back tomorrow and gather the rest of them and maybe can them or turn it to jam…why do you have that weird look on your face?”
Thorin’s grimace seemed to be twinged with guilt when he admitted. “I don’t like blueberries.”
Bilbo was aghast. He had never heard of someone not liking blueberries! “What? Whyever not?”
“The fruit itself is yellow but somehow it has a purple juice? It is…odd. And then I’m not a fan of the outside texture.”
Bilbo’s mouth formed a perfect ‘o’ of understanding. “You’ve only ever had them raw, not baked? Would you be willing to try a tart of mine to see if you would like it?”
Thorin looked uncomfortable, and Bilbo was quick to reassure him with a kiss. “You don’t have to. In the Shire, we believe food should be enjoyed, not forced. I’m not trying to pressure you.”
“If they were blackberries…believe me, amrâlimê (my love), I would have them devoured in a heartbeat. But blueberries…”
Bilbo kissed Thorin again, more thoroughly. “It is perfectly alright, my dear. I’m sure there are members of the Company that would be more than willing to…”
Thorin suddenly grabbed Bilbo and kissed him again, his tongue exploring its way into Bilbo’s mouth. Not that he was complaining in the slightest.
“Are those the blueberries I taste?” He asked when he finally pulled away, a wondrous look in his eye.
Bilbo smirked. “Well I had to sample the tarts to make sure they were edible.”
Thorin rolled his eyes and shook his head before taking a step towards Bilbo’s cooling tarts. He hesitantly picked it up, gave it a sniff, before popping it in his mouth. Thorin’s eyes grew wide in amazement, and he quickly ate five more after it. It was then that he and Bilbo found out that blueberries Thorin liked. It was grapes he had an issue with.

The (Real) Stardew Valley Farm Update
Okay, so I meant to post way more about this, but the past year involved a truly inhumane number of medical appointments including driving an hour away 2-3 times a week all summer, so . . . not a lot of time for gardening and not much energy for posting. Fingers crossed that this year goes better!
To refresh, I'm trying to grow everything from Stardew Valley in our yard, with substitutions as needed, preferably with Midwest USA native plants. 2021 and 2022 can be found here, with my original plans for what I was going to do for 2023 and 2024.
2021: Additions/Corrections
Starfruit - Native wood sorrel (thanks to @alienskyler1 for teaching me that they were related!)
Cave Carrot - Queen Ann’s Lace, AKA wild carrot (also plenty of cultivated carrots)
2023: What Actually Happened
Garlic - Native wild garlic
Blueberries
Wild Horseradish - Not wild, contained in a raised bed on concrete because I don't want it to get too wild (also a mint containment system!)
Hops - Teamaker hops which is good for tea. It struggled in the summer so maybe tea this year?
Winter Root - I went with hopniss, aka groundnuts, a native vine with tubers you dig up in winter
Fiddlehead Fern - Native hayscented fern
Poppy - Native wood poppy
The ferns and poppies were planted in the fall, so hopefully they come up well this spring!
2024: The Plan
Blue Jazz - Native Ozark Bluestar (one of my winter sowing seeds)
Apricot Tree - Native passionflower vine, known as wild apricot (winter sowing)
Sunflower - Winter sowing two native sunflowers, and will hopefully be growing some massive non-native ones as well
Summer Spangle - Native prairie lily (winter sowing)
Palm Tree/Coconut - Native palm sedge. I'll grow this from seed once it warms up
Pineapple - White strawberries (pineberries)
Pumpkin
Melon
Oak Tree - Native dwarf chinquapin oak (it's been shockingly hard to get my hands on one)
Sweet Pea
Hot Pepper
Parsnip
Corn
Ancient Fruit - Native Aronia (they're blueish and have lots of antioxidants so you live to be ancient)
We'll see how it goes!
Planned for 2025 and Beyond:
Potato
Red Cabbage
Artichoke - Native Jerusalem artichokes
Cactus Fruit - Native prickly pear cactus
Yam
Bok Choy
Leek
Blackberry
Holly - Native winterberry holly
Crystal Fruit - Honey berries, which produce fruit earlier than anything else
Mushrooms - I'm just gonna ignore varieties and try some plugs or similar
???????
Still trying to figure out doable substitutes for these
Rice
Wheat
Qi Fruit - Very creepy
Taro Root - I would have to plant it in pots
Snow Yam
Mahogany Tree
Peach Tree
Pomegranate Tree - I could try Russian pomegranates?
I'll try to do a better job this year keeping everyone updated. It's been such a fun project and I'm so glad I decided to go for it!
