To use frozen blueberries, all you need to do is rinse them in a strainer first. <br /><br />We also have some favorite recipes for blueberry muffins, a super-good pineapple (and blueberry when I have them) coffee cake, and even a dessert called "Blueberry funny cake." Perhaps I can post some of those recipes in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732627354378250003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-67847283924760483802009-10-21T09:17:59.828-05:002009-10-21T09:17:59.828-05:00Beautiful pictures and beautiful post!

So, what we really like to do is head into the woods and go Huckleberry picking in August.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063927120209857937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-82282762098115763202009-06-19T00:35:15.548-05:002009-06-19T00:35:15.548-05:00Susan,
Ohh, your beautiful pictures are making me ...Susan,<br />Ohh, your beautiful pictures are making me hungry! I can't wait to go blueberry picking! We have a great place here in Texas and we look forward to it! They should be ready in another week or two.<br /><br />I love the pictures on your blog! I love your encouraging words and cheerful smile.<br /><br />God has been blessing us this past couple of weeks, but I have been away from the computer. It is good to be back!<br /><br />Susansusanhttp://www.happycooking4u.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-74035273963091537212009-06-14T16:46:34.121-05:002009-06-14T16:46:34.121-05:00Hi Susan,

Our blueberry bushes are loaded with berries, but they won't ripen around here until July. I hope to have a lot to freeze this year plus enough to use fresh.<br /><br />~~AnneAnne@BackyardTreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496706313376433743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-13533435654594856242009-06-13T10:43:26.378-05:002009-06-13T10:43:26.378-05:00LOVE your heart--Love learning from moms like you!...LOVE your heart--Love learning from moms like you!

I emailed you, but thought I...Hi there Heather! I emailed you, but thought I'd post here as well. <br /><br />The blueberries that we picked weren't ours. We live in the Kansas City area and have planted blueberry bushes, repeatedly, but one way or another, our goats keep getting out of their area and munching on them! : O bad, bad goats! ; )<br /><br />I'm not sure about Lebanon, but in this area, it seems that the most prolific blueberry patches are on the south side of the city.<br /><br />Blueberries need an acidic soil. If your soil isn't acidic enough, it is possible to amend it. One way is by adding significant amounts of peat moss to the hole where you plant them. <br /><br />In reference to water, most large patches do have soaker hoses that run down the rows of bushes to make watering easier. Summer here in MO can get quite dry at times. The berry bushes do best with a reliable source of water~ especially when they are young. <br /><br />You will get some (a very few) blueberries on two year old plants, but they will be several years old before they produce a significant quantity of berries.<br /><br />My experience is that there is a great market for blueberries... the patches that I know of locally sell out each year, no problem. Around here the price ranges from $1.80/lb (where we pick~ friends of our family) to as much as $3/lb.<br /><br />If you purchase blueberry bushes, be sure to check and purchase varieties that do well in your area. You could check with your local county extension office or a local master gardener. They should be able to tell you which varieties to purchase.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments! Hope you enjoy MO<br /><br />SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732627354378250003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866659982820371097.post-61469304331446520862009-06-13T07:59:31.123-05:002009-06-13T07:59:31.123-05:00Hi Susan,

Are they wild or did you plant them? If you planted them, how long until they began to produce? What region of MO are you in? We just bought a farm in Lebanon and would love to grow blueberries (and lots of other things!) Did you have to water them or do you get enough rain? Do you ever sell your blueberries? Do you know if there is a market for them? Thanks a bunch! Heather from momys<br />heathermomys@sbcglobal.netHeathernoreply@blogger.com
