While the March frost did tremendous damage to peaches in Georgia, the blueberry crop did much better and is providing a good yield of the luscious crops. According to this story in the Farm Monitor (including video), most blueberries were not far out of dormancy and the temperatures in Southeast Georgia did not get as cold as the peach orchards farther north. They were also able to use overhead irrigation to provide frost protection, so most farms did fairly well. I noticed the blueberries I had for dinner tonight were from Blackshear, Georgia, and enjoyed every bite!
