The two blueberry bushes always look lovely and healthy. But
the scanty harvest of small, juiceless berries disappoints.
One languished in the shade of a bigger bush, so we have
just transplanted it into a more open border, into ericaceous soil, plenty of
water, plenty of sun when it’s out. Here’s hoping…
Spring is a season of hope. But in our garden, it seems to
be ‘plant in hope, reap in disappointment’ as we rarely pull in a good crop of
anything apart from apples. Maybe blueberries this year.
We all need the right conditions to flower and fruit. Enough
water and nourishment, physical and spiritual. Enough light. It’s not always
easy to get the balance right. It’s not easy to test the pH of the soil in
which we are planted.
I’m continuing to work on weeding out the negativity during
Lent. That alone should be a boost to growth…
