Since blueberries and cranberries require the same acidic soil, and since a small patch of cranberries don't require a bog to be harvested, - I decided to plant cranberry plants at the base of our blueberry plants! :) This way we will have two crops in the space of one! :)I ordered mature plants from Cranberry Creations, in Maine, so these cranberry plants literally traveled from coast to coast! :) We were thrilled to see them looking so healthy and bearing ripe fruit when they arrived!! :)
Today I snuggled them into their prepaired soil, in the garden, beneath the blueberry bushes, and saw that the berries were ripe and ready to harvest! Then came the cranberry cravings, and the thought, "Why wait?!" :) So I picked them all and cooked them as a side dish for our evening meal!! :) Delicious!!!! :)
It's fun to think that we can look forward to this little treat, right from our own garden, in upcoming years!! :)
Right now I'm wishing we had a field full of them!! :)
