Nova Scotia produces forty million pounds of wild blueberries every year.
"The wild blueberry is the number 1 fruit crop in acreage export sales, and value", according to the Wild Blueberry Producers Association.
This late summer month is prime time for blueberry pies, blueberry muffins, blueberry grunt, blueberry cake, fresh berries in a bowl, and hot, cooked blueberries (as comforting a dish as a bowl of chicken soup).
A small area on the southwest side of the house is the sunniest part of the property. This woodland location has a huge tree canopy which allows dappled sun, or pools of sunlight, in most parts of the garden. So this precious area of full sun has been given over to heathers, which look nondescript for the remainder of the year but strut their stuff in August.

I think we need some heather here at the Cat Farm...
Funny you should mention Blueberries and Heather in the same post, given that this Heather is getting quite the reputation for her blueberry pie...
