Blueberry stickers

24 years ago

Has anyone ever seen stickers of blueberries? I just checked the Mrs. Grossmans site and they don't have any (this is after looking in Michael's for what felt like an eternity). I'll be doing a page shortly of my daughter and I blueberry picking. I was planning on titling it "One Berry, Two Berry, Pick Me a Blueberry" (from Jamberry, one of her favorite books) and I have the basket sticker from Mrs. G. I wanted to have blueberries tumbling out of the basket, from the top corner of the page, falling all over the pictures. I know I can use punches, but I feel like I lose the actual effect of the blueberry. I'm not sure what else to do. I've found every fruit under the sun (including kiwi and plums!) but I can't find blueberries. Anyone have any ideas??

Hi Patti,
Hmmmmm....I have never come across any blueberry stickers either...and I have a lot of stickers LOL
What about making the blueberries out of punchies and then using a diecut basket instead of a sticker basket? Maybe things would "flow" better?? If you don't have a basket die, let me know...I have yellow and dark brown ones coming out my whazoo! LOL

Patti, I was at Hobby Lobby today and saw blueberry stickers they were on a sheet with strawberries and other fruit. There were several clusters of berries along with several single berries. They were Francis Meyer stickers. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the nice comments Andrew and Mamuang. Regarding the new plum, I would go ahead and leave it in the hole Andrew. I definitely wouldn't amend the planting hole without building a mound. You are quite correct plums will tolerate much poorer drainage than peach and will grow in all but the wettest spots. I have planted plums in flat ground and plums in mounds. The ones in mounds clearly do better, but that may be partially due to the mounds having looser soil, which makes it easier for the roots to spread. I have had more difficulty getting good growth on plums planted in the ground, so you might try fertilizing a little the first season or two to size the tree up. I plan on using a little fertilizer on the plums I planted this spring to give them a little boost. My new plums are all planted in flat ground. "OK, I would like to know what would be a good sticking agent for copper? Drew, I use Latron B1956 spreader/sticker. I don't know that it's any better than any other spreader/sticker, but I'm used to it and know the mixing dosage in my head. Actually it's no longer manufactured, but when I ran out of my last gallon, I was able to find another on Ebay. Copper is not always harmful to foliage. I didn't mean to leave that impression. It can have the potential to spot or burn foliage. Because of this it's generally advised to use lower application rates of copper in the growing season vs. the dormant season. Understand that MSU's advice regarding copper on cherry is for tart cherry only. Coppers have a high potential for foliage injury on sweet cherries.

Blueberries as a hedge?
Q
Comments (8)
I happy that I'm getting the thumbs up from all of you on the blueberry hedge. I have been able to track down more than 15 varieties that will do well in my zone. I will have to ammend with peat moss since they like an acidic soil. They do like a lot of water too which could be a bad thing in a drought year but the extra work of getting water to them would be worth it. Mrs G. A mixed hedge sounds like a good idea. I am going to put arbors in my hedge to allow access through the four sides of my garden. It's a good excuse to add more arbors ;) Nicki, Some of the berries I have read about produce 10-20 pounds of fruit per season. One I found actually bears fruit twice. Many of them can be grown in pots too. One is even evergreen and doesn't take many chilling hours in winter so would be an excellent choice for you, it's called Sunshine Blue. Surely you could squeeze in one little pot of blueberries? MeMo

My rant on grocery store fruit! Why are the cultivars not shown?
Q
Comments (10)
I am a produce manager and I can tell you that the vast majority of the product we bring in does have the cultivars named on the shipping crates the fault if any would be at the growers end, we order say red plums, that day I might get 2 to 3 different cultivars on the same load they are only sold as red plums not as individual cultivars, the signage itself in store would be a nightmare, there maybe something they could do at the growers end printing on the plu stickers but, maybe that next delivery that certain cultivar is not available or they get a better buy on another, I would have customers turned off or disappointed in the fruit, I agree that it is frustrating, I have my own preference to certain cultivars, say when I get Robada apricots, that really is the only one I like and will buy myself, but I cannot order Robada apricots I can only order apricots and whatever variety that is available is the one I receive, I make cultivars known to my customers whenever possible, when we get a steady stream of that certain cultivar, but that could only be for a week or so at a time. Right now we have a promotion on pluots and are pushing three cultivars by name, this really is the first time we have separated cultivars on pluots, generally we order pluots and whatever variety is available at the time is what we get, could be dinosaur egg (dapple dandy), flavor supreme, fall flavor, flavor grenade or so on, if everything came with a cultivar listed there would be thousands of different signs and displays, so most is generalized, gala apples could haves a dozen different cultivars, broccoli the same, navel oranges, red green black grapes as well.

THanks!! We don't have Hobby Lobby here in New England, but I do know of a few stores that carry Francis Meyer stickers -- I'll have to look for them (the only multiple fruit stickers I found had grapes, watermelon, apples, kiwi, etc.).

Mar, thanks for the offer for the die cut. If I can't find these stickers, I might just take you up on that! We can do a trade. I"ll let you know. :)

Dear Patti,
You could also try Ebay, just enter "blue berry or fruit stickers" into the search area, and if there are any available they will come up. You may have to try this for several days before you get a response for your item. Since my son rode BMX I had a HARD time trying to find stickers (besides the few offered at scrapbook stores and they were almost all alike.) that had anything to do with kind of the bikes he rode (his bike alone was over $2000.00) with all their brand names and special light weight parts. Ebay was one of the few places I finally found the stickers I was searching for, but I did PAY for them. You had to include the shipping cost along with the price of the stickers. OUCH! But those were the stickers that went with his life, and I could not find them anywhere else so I had no choice but to buy them there. I do NOT recommend this for more common everyday stickers, but if you REALLY need a paticular sticker that is a good source. Penny

Ooh - what a good idea Penny. I hadn't thought of that (and I've bought stuff there before!!). I just checked and there aren't any, but I'll keep looking. :) Thanks for the suggestion.

Patti,

If you don't have any luck finding the blueberries I can go to Hobby Lobby here in Illinois and send you one package. If you like them I can send you more. Let Me know.

Thanks Pam. I was gone for the weekend so I haven't had a chance to check anywhere. I'll start looking this week and see what I can come up with. If I need to take you up on your offer, I'll let you know.
