June 24, 2008 -- 5 ripe blueberries! From the 3-yr-old Northblue plant. Large and tasty -- well, a little mushy, truth be told, but then the first tomato from a plant is often less than great. Northsky also has lots of berries, much smaller, and not apparently near to ripening.
I also ate 3 strawberries from the 6 June-bearing and 6 everbearing plants I set out a couple of months ago. Very tasty. They aren't supposed to be allowed to bear their first year, but I have only so much strength.
I'm wondering now if religions that offer "first fruits" to their gods in sacrifice do so because those tend not to be worth the eating anyway.
