    Default Blueberry Field...

    Here's a pic of yours truly taken by my wife when we were out cycling and took a break at a blueberry field. Besides me, it features the fall colours of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    Fall already? Short season. That is a lot of crimson.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    The pic was taken in the fall of 2016.

    Prince Edward Island has 13,000 acres of commercially-harvested wild low-bush blueberries. The crop is almost completely flash frozen and then exported. About 45% of our local blueberries are exported to China. The other major crop here is potatoes. The blueberry acreage is typically former potato fields. Wild blueberries are grown commercially in Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Compared with the other places where they are grown, Prince Edward Island has a big advantage in that our soils are not rocky and that makes harvesting much easier.

    PEI has no bears, lynx, cougars, deer, wolves, or moose. They are on the mainland which is about 10 miles away at its closest. We have just three species of snakes - all non-venomous and no turtles or lizards. There are however lots of birds as we are on a
    migration route.

    Here's a pic of one of our Prince Edward Island beaches. The number of people in the image would qualify it as a "crowded" day at the beach. It is possible to visit a beach here and see no other people.
