Growing Organic Blueberries


We found some great information on growing blueberries in Oregon here. We have only two plants but one yields enough blueberries for our family plus some to share. We'd like to plant more bushes so that we can make even more pies with them. Our favorite Blue Berry Pie recipe will come in a later post after we make it and take pictures.

"We now know that blueberries are one of the best sources of antioxidants, substances that can slow the aging process and reduce cell damage that can lead to cancer,” according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Where do you get your blueberries from? Your garden, your local farmer's market or the grocery store?
