Still going...

93+ degrees today with impending storms tonight.  Still weeding the blueberries.....  But I have a new technique which I hope will help speed things up a bit.  I weed around the the blueberry bush about 1-2 feet in all directions and then proceed to the next plant.  Then after I've done about 15-20 plants I take the Stihl handheld sickle bar and mow the weeds between the plants.  Seems to be working.  Perhaps in a week to 10 days I'll be done.  150 plants done, 1050 to go.... Hmmmm... Three weeks until blueberry picking! Yum!
