Blueberries are in their third week of picking. The early varieties are winding down, while the later ones are now getting ripe. Hot, windy weekend ripened many quickly, and then they fell off/were blown off. Last night and today saw 1.85" of rain, and I couldn't get into the patch. Will try again tomorrow. We will be selling either at the Tecumseh farmers market this Thursday evening (4-7), the Syracuse farmers market Saturday morning (8-11), or both if enough berries are available to pick.
The bees are starting to cap honey in their supers, so it shouldn't be long before honey will be available. I am usually at both the Otoe County Fair (Aug 1-3 this year) in Syracuse, and the Johnson County Fair (Aug 15-17) in Tecumseh.
