Blueberry Bushes

When we went shopping for our transplants for the garden we saw some blueberry bushes for sale as well. We decided to buy 2 bushes and see if we could grow them. The bushes are about 3 years old and they are already producing blueberries though they are green berries right now. I will keep you updated on what we learn from our attempt at growing blueberries. I look forward to the day I can put some on my oatmeal or cereal.
