We have a dozen or so blueberry bushes. They give us 25-30 quarts of VERY sour berries-nothing like the wild ones available around here. Just easier to get to and are suitable for pies, biscuits, cakes, muffins and pancakes if you add more sugar to the recipes. My daughter picks the wild ones but has to travel to her secret spots. They are much sweeter. Here in Maine, growing wild berries commercially is quite a business. I have been told that blueberries like the cold winters and they sure get cold winters here in Maine.

I keep being told that when I am taken to Maine for a visit that we will go blueberrying. It sounds like something I would enjoy but I'm going to have to pick an awful lot of 'em to cart back home and put up from the looks of it.

I keep thinking that we are going to have to make this trip in August. I'm told that isn't the prime time to vacation in Maine - but I don't handle cold weather well and I want to see the country and have a great time! I can't wait to go! I would go today if we had the money for the trip! ;-)
