Bearing Fruit

This year is my sixth season open here at Balderson Blueberries and we are off to a great start! The buds have broken and providing we get no late frost, the harvest will be amazing. Even better than last year, which was our best year ever! And 200 new cultivars that we planted three years ago will be bearing fruit for the first time. So thats exciting – but even more exciting is that they aren’t the only things newly bearing fruit this season.

I am welcoming two new grand-babies! My daughter Sabrina and my daughter-in-law Sharlee are both pregnant. And both are due within a week of each other! Smack dab in the middle of blueberry season!

Sabrina and Ben have wanted to start a family for years so it is especially exciting and I am super happy for them. Colin and Sharlee were waiting until Sharlee’s Lyme disease was under control before having their second and I am incredibly happy for them too. Cadia is turning three this summer and is stoked to have a sibling. Neither couple are finding out the sex. Fun surprises!

My farmers almanac predicts a wild ride filled with abundance this summer!

Last weekend Sabrina, Sharlee, Colin and me all ran a five kilometre race in Merrickville. It was Sabrina’s Christmas gift to us and it was super fun. Who knew the girls would both be pregnant.
