(They are on the edge of the property, and behind some scruffy bushes, so I don't usually see them.) Little Giant and tag-lost. :) They are now nice-looking mature plants, covered with blossoms. I plan to net them after the blossoms drop. I assume the critters will find a way to eat the berries anyway, but who knows, maybe I will actually harvest some blueberries this year.
