June was a month of rain, rain, rain, and more rain. I'm pretty sure there was some precipitation every single day. I looked up official numbers and it appears Pittsburgh got 7.35" rain total. That's a lot. On the upside, everything is growing like mad, I got to spend some time on indoor projects, and when I did do some outdoor work, the dirt

I actually have (had?) three types, but the winter-before-last I think all but killed one of them. Then last year and this year they didn't produce. Possibly that had an effect? The only other difference is that I did not trim them back last year like I usually do.

My blueberry bushes - admittedly, they were planted new and small last spring and spent most of last growing season shaded out by some truly monstrous cherry tomatoes - also did not produce much this year. Two small clusters on one bush, nothing at all on the other bush. (Yes, two varieties.) Wonder if there was something "wrong" this spring that interrupted the normal blooming-fruiting cycle, since I didn't have many flowers, either. But the bushes are vigorous with foliage, so I hope that with time and additional seasons to get themselves established I may someday see a real crop.

Mine have always had a nice, albeit short harvest around the end of june. The two winters ago it was really harsh, and last year and this year they have failed to produce. I'm not sure what's up there. Like you, I'm just going to let them go and hope.
