The previous owner of my house planted a few blueberry bushes (not the lowbush wild ones of Maine that should be burned/pruned after every year of fruiting). I’ve always thought of blueberries as inferior to strawberries and raspberries, but now I wonder why so few people have blueberry bushes! Picked ripe and eaten fresh, they’re delicious. A little care when planting, mulch and peat moss in the spring, regular watering, and you’ve got blueberries to enjoy every morning for a couple weeks in summer.
