Since our earliest blueberry varieties are getting ripe, it is time to put the netting on top of the blueberry cage. Towhees have already started biting into a few, although their overall impact is relatively low. The netting needs to go up before more ripen and the cedar waxwing flocks move in.

The netting to fit over the entire three rows is in 2 pieces, which makes installation trickier. We've discussed sewing the 2 sides together in the future.

We ended the morning by eating homemade blueberry ice cream in the shade. Then it was back home.

Turns out that we only picked 18 pounds (8.2Kg). It looks like a lot when it's spread out. In previous years, when there were more bushes, we have picked 20 to 24 pounds.

Once dry, the blueberries are bagged and frozen.

We filled two buckets as the temperature got extreme.

I was really getting frustrated with the clerk at checkout when I found that the actual checkout was farther on.
