More blueberry bushes and signs of spring!

We poached (OK, we were allowed to poach) three mature high-bush blueberry bushes from Laurie's parents. They are awesome, huge, wonderful things! We spent this evening enlarging our berry patch and moving the high-bush cranberry to another location to accommodate them. Looks like the gooseberries will be moving at some point in the future as well since they are showing somewhat invasive tendencies.
