Today is Blueberry Muffin Day, and you can celebrate 110 years of the blueberry, or at least the cultivated blueberry. Blueberries were harvested from the wild which makes them a difficult crop. Work began in the 1910s by Elizabeth White and Frederick Coville breeding hybrids that eventually led to the first commercial crop in 1916, making the blueberry one of the most recent plants to be domesticated.

How to Play

Six plants fill each row
each column, each box of six
no bloom may repeat

Tap an empty cell
then choose your plant from below
watch the garden grow

Or pick a plant first
then tap the cells where it goes
faster hands plant more

Red borders will warn
when two alike share a line
rethink and replant

Ticked plants rest complete
all six placed in rightful soil
fewer choices left

The clock starts to run
the moment your first plant falls
how swift is your hand?

Every row, column & box needs all six plants
0:00

Select a plant, then tap cells

0/36 planted

Two ways to play: Tap an empty cell then pick a plant, or select a plant below then tap cells to place it.
