All my kinfolk is from WV & I spent many of my summers there as a child so all of this is bringing back fond memories. I'm a state away in Virginia Beach, VA which even though is just a state away, it looks like our weather is alot further along here. Tulips & azalias have bloomed here & most the trees have their green leaves now! I want to look into those thornless blackberry bushes! I recently found your blog & it’s wonderful!

But, Son won't give up the space his swing-set is in even though he hardly ever gets on the darn thing. *g* And I was JUST going to say your boots were too clean, but then you got them muddy!

Self-Propagating Blueberries? Envious! We have raspberries and blackberries and Sylvans and Marionberries, but they all have thorns. Which helps keeps the animals out, I guess. But our Blueberries aren't self-propagating. Though I think I'll have to get some of those and plant them this year! :shimmy: You live on a farm! How cool is that? Thornless Blackberries?

I'm envious of the peach trees. And a self-pollenating blueberry bush? I never knew there was such a thing. Shows how much I know! Awesome! I’m envious of the peach trees.

I've lived on my place eight years now, and had livestock for most of them, but it wasn't until last year when I baled my own hay that I actually felt like a farmer.
