So last year I told you girls about my neighbor down the road who was putting in a blueberry farm. I was in the grocery store last week and noticed that they had blueberries on sale. So Sunday evening I went down to the neighbors to see his blueberries. His wife and I picked 2 gallon size zip lock baggies full of blueberries. It did not take us long because these blueberries were giant size. The size of a quarter. Last night I made a blue berry cobbler it was so good. Everything this guy grows always turn out giant size. I call him Jack and the bean stalk. LOl. Anyways so excited to have a berry picking farm right down the road. He also is growing blackberries, grapes and raspberries.

Wowzers! That is awesome!
I had origionaly planted 10 (Jerseys & Northren Blues variaties) of Blueberrys and am now down to 6 plants & each year my berries get smaller and smaller.... but on the plus side my strawberries keep going strong and send out runners like crazy.....

Alee I think it is organic. I know she and I were eating as we picked and she told me that was fine because there were no chemicals on the blueberries.

I was reading about planting blueberries, and the material I read said to wait three years before a good harvest. I wonder how this guy did it in one? Maybe he was planting canes that were already a couple of years old??
