We’ve been wistfully watching the pink flowers appearing on our bilberries – that’s the wild UK version of blueberries we have up here in the north – looking forward to those beautiful blue fruits in Summer 🙂
We bought 5 about 4 years ago. They are on the back side of the house. We have blueberries, 4 year old strawberries, grapevines with purple grapes–it is three years old so it should fruit a little this year. We have a peach tree too. So much food in our backyard. Someday when you are here, I’ll give you a tour. ~amy

I am sure we will be taking more photos of our bilberries soon … but here is one on my last Nature Notes post that shows the pink flower buds – http://oaktreesstudio.wordpress.com/2014/04/19/nature-notes-woodland-walks-in-spring/
