Gissy's U-Pick Blueberry, Peach Farm and Nursery

01/25/2025

As much as I wanted to roll the windows down at 5:30am this morn...baby it was cold outside...haha(photo #1 and #3-4 @3:06pm, respectively)...low of 27⁰ish...

Have been running the nursery sprinklers since 11:30pm. 32⁰ kicked in around midnight(or just before)...

All said though, farm and plants seem to have taken it like a champ...mi' biggest fear was for the citrus trees, and early signs look like it was a non-event for them... 💪

[citrus trees when dormant-ed by continuous low temperatures(like we have had this year) are much more freeze hardy...]
fyi, if you have some of your own trees, and we ever have an "Indian summer" until like Dec+-, and get a hard freeze...whatch out/take care of them...

enjoy the outdoors now, lol...

*Lot of plants available at the nursery.
Running a special on 1gal blueberries, mention the ad for discount...
$9ea and 12/$100......plant now and I suspect you'll get a $3 rebate* on each plant in 3 months+-
*1-3 handfuls of the best blue berries ever.... 😉

anyone interested in Jul's hanging floral baskets in about 6-8 weeks? Greenhouse plants are coming up very good...(last photos)

Open most all the time, just check first...

Best Regards,
Donny

1.22.25 Farm update:(snow day proof, see video on first comment, lol)
oh, like, share and follow however that works, to help get the word out Please/TY.
Blueberry fields are looking exquisite. Back on a semi-regular water regimen now and replanted all the 70ish blank spots in the rows 3-4 months ago. Wishing for a huge crop this year.(May-June)

Four year old Peach and Nectarines are looking bad to the bone...might produce 5 pick up truckloads this year...(May and June,starting with Nectarines). Think I'm gonna thin them out real heavy this year, and have less quantity but bigger size.

Recently planted (3)two-row 3-line trellis'.
4 rows of thornless Blackberries and 2 rows of Raspberries...won't have many this first year, but maybe some of the "original founding charter members, lol" longtime favorite cutomers(yr14 now, you know who you are 😃) can get a few...haha
