Even though the bluberries ripen at different times, it makes them last over a longer time period. It is always a treat to pick and out some fin the bucket, some in your mouth...Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652984057536702493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-8999328145785012362013-09-22T18:56:51.659-07:002013-09-22T18:56:51.659-07:00I didn't realize they were palatable (in sauce...I didn't realize they were palatable (in sauces and cooked, anyway). Good to know! They are lovely shrubs/plants, and the berries are distinctive.

I guess you could grow citrus, I would love to be able to grow blood oranges again. I love citrus, they ripen in winter when nothing else does, and have acidic peels so nothing bothers them.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-61251680550326659412013-09-19T18:35:12.302-07:002013-09-19T18:35:12.302-07:00Wow!
