Berry Patch Update
April 26, 2023
Hi everyone. Just wanted to post a update on our 2023 blackberry crop. The vines are a healthy green and growing with lots of pink and white blooms. All varieties are blooming. Our one thorned variety Kiowa has green berries! The bees have been very busy pollinating all those blooms. We are very thankful for the bees.
In March and April ,Carole and I replanted one row of berry plants and established another new row of blackberries……approximately 300 plants. Also fertilized the berry plants and controlled winter weeds and grass. Also tying up vines….which is a constant activity.
The recent rain has really helped the orchard.
When will we open for picking? It is still a little early but we feel that it will probably be the end of May. It will depend on the availability of moisture and temps. We actually need some warmer weather. (never thought I would say that). April has been cooler than average.
If you have questions….just call, text or email us. Our farm number is 979-255-3181. Email is huebners@hcecwildblue.com
Will post another update soon.
