oh wow!!!
what a great post. I love blueberries. I normally end up spending about $20 a week (in peak season) feeding blueberries to my kids. No point in the off season.
Another reason we are growing so much in our new garden.
Blueberries are high on my list but i hear you need a few plants of different varieties to ensure a good harvest No point having one bush that doesn't produce enough to feed 1 kids.
thanks so much for sharing the post.

Blueberries are my favorite berry. I think that may be because they are free for the taking and are so healthy for you.
The walk to the patch is quit a trek, one that I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to make.
A few years ago I started transplanting some of the smaller bushes from Uncle Louie's property to our farm. This was the first year we got any berries from the transplants. Hopefully within the next 5 years or so we'll be able to pick as many berries as we want right here on our property.
You are right on with planting several different kind of blueberry plants for pollination reasons.
Blueberries also require a very acid soil, between 4.0 and 5.0 is ideal.
The difference in taste between commercially grown and wild berries is dramatic.
Thanks for stopping by.
