Daffodils and Blueberries.

 Another very punishing wind blowing today.

My second round of daffodils will have broken necks no doubt. The one below called Tahiti has been looking very bright and Springlike.

 In a large pot the tiniest one ( a miniature )  I have called Minnow has just a few flowers out .They really are small ( about .5"diameter ) and make a tasty meal for slugs or snails. I've looked but cant find the chewing culprit.
 
    
 New Blueberries.
 R has been busy building a new bigger wire netting cage for my Blueberries. First we took the old plastic netting cage down. Here the 3 fruiting plants are with no surround.
The varieties are Blast in the middle with an Oneal on each side. The middle one has very small berries but lots of them.

 I looked for but couldn't find any more Oneal plants which is what I wanted but have 2 new ( to me ) varieties called  Tasty Blue and Blue Star.
There may be room for more than 2 new plants.
 Here is the very secure new cage. ( you can just see the plants inside - click to enlarge ) 
 Later I hope to get the 2 new plants in the ground.( but it is not very pleasant outside here today. )
