The Pond In Our Farm

The Pond In Our Farm

Hubby tried to have a pond in our farm because it is useful for the spraying the blueberries. He hired our neighbor farmer since he has the equipment to dig the pond. It was $100/hour and he dug almost 4 hours. He dug 10 feet and that one was the water hubby used for mixing the fertilizer. There is no fish in the pond since hubby think that the fish will not last long in there since i love fish hehhe. Anyway, have a wonderful day.

Blueberry Packing Time - #18 366 BPC

Today i want to share the pictures of blueberries that is going to pack. After harvesting the workers will bring the bucket of blueberries into the trailer that waiting for them in the field then they will be paid. After harvesting in the morning we will bring the blueberries in the packing house and the workers in the packing area will inspect the blueberries. They will take out the bad berries like molds, leaves, green berries, squeeze, and soft blueberries. After that they will put it in a pint. Next time i will show you the blueberries that already in the pints.

Party Time At The Farm - #17 366BPC

Party Time At The Farm - #17 366BPC

Last 2010 we gave a little cookout  for our workers after the harvest. We just bought hundreds of hot dogs and steak burger for that party and drinks. We also have some desserts to each workers. We have so much fun and even the workers of the neighbor farm went there and all brought home some food since we have plenty leftovers. It was tiring since we are the one who cook the foods and prepared the drinks. Hubby was the one assigned in the grill, myself desserts and a friend of mine entertaining the people who came. I do not know if we will do it again since its not easy to do it then also the cost of the cookout. But anyway, we enjoyed it that's the good thing.

Green Blueberries - #12 366 BPC

Last time i posted about the flowering of blueberries and today i wanted to share the pictures below. After flowering they will turn to green blueberries like the pictures below. According to hubby after 1 month or more they will become blue and ready to eat. It takes time to change to blue especially if they are still small green berries.  I enjoyed watching them and took some pictures during that time. Hopefully this year we have lots to pick. Anyway, have  a wonderful day to all.

The sprayer that hook up in the tractor is one of the farm equipment that is very important without it we lost our crop. Hubby used it most of the time and we get the water in our pond.
