  3. We picked wild blueberries as a child and my best friend's mom made blueberry cake- there is nothing better than fresh blueberry cake-yum! Now those bushes are a mini-mall. Glad you still can pick in the back yard!

  4. wonderful! i am jealous that you don't have to net your berries. ours are constantly raided by the birds and chipmunks. what's your secret?

  5. We gathered these at a u-pick farm down the road. We're super lucky to live in farm country and come summer, the u-pick farms people drive miles to find are practically in our backyard. The blueberry farmer's secret for not netting is a speaker set up in the trees that randomly sends out the call of a predator bird. The screech keeps the other birds away from the bushes. I believe that it was developed up at Cornell's lab of Ornithology... but I could be wrong.

  8. I love blueberries and was going to go picking today but chose the Flea Market instead. Then it was too hot for anything but sitting in the pool.
