Thanks, the house is actually an Ozark Stone slip form structure that keeps cool in the summer, acts like a heat sink in the winter and since we replaced all the windows and doors with Argon impregnated low thermal-E its virtually sound proof. But when we got it all the mortar was in bad shape and the Mrs and I chiseled it all out and retuck pointed the place....took us 4 months and I wouldnt want to do it again (at least from the sorry state it was in).
As for the blueberries, its not in the picture but its to the right of the last picture of our second corn patch. Its only a year old and we only got enough blueberries for a couple pies this year. We do however have about 9 blackberry patches that gives us enough blackberries for ourselves and to make a couple hundred every year. We also have tons of gooseberries all over the farm, rapsberries, and a new strawberry patch.
Everything is just about 3 weeks behind this year due to our craqzy weather, we actually had frost the second week of may that took out our cucumbers and sweet potatoes and we had to replant.
