  3. I was turning the water on the berries and noticed some almost ripe and then actually ripe blueberries. The raspberries have got quite the jungle going too in the middle where I didn't dig up raspberries and start a new row.

  4. Pesticide spray drift from intensive horticulture on the the mid-north coast NSW -
    Discontent in the region.

    Home owners, dairy and beef producers among those concerned about how pesticide use affects their land as well as water quality on the mid-north coast

    “Between 2001 and 2016 blueberry farming expanded 400% – mainly around the Coffs Harbour region.”

    “This monitoring showed the continued detection of pesticides in most waterways sampled, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring in the region.”

    “Monitoring in the Nambucca valley by the EPA has detected three different pesticides in low levels in three creeks, suggesting water quality in the area is not being impacted by excessive amounts of pesticides.”

  5. What I call "blurbs" (blueberries) and red currants are on their way! My first season for currants, even though I got that plant last year.

  6. In Germanic #languages, like English, this #berry derives its name from its vivid blue hue. But is #blue the color associated with #blueberries in other languages?
