Delish, and the like of which I could never grow for myself.

They had just put the blueberries on half price. I got 8lbs for $8.00, I think that's about 5 British pounds. I didn't have any room in the freezer so I decided to can/bottle them. I got 12 pint/250ml jars and a few left over for snacking. In the winter 2 jars will make a nice pie or crumble.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-14509180647288952602013-08-14T22:10:45.052+01:002013-08-14T22:10:45.052+01:00We have never grown Blueberries but I love them.

Wasn't sure which you are referring to? We should get around 1 - 2 kg in total off both our bushes if lucky. We thought the bought ones a little expensive but not as much as buying that amount in the supermarket. You are right though, they can be a right royal pain to grow!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-44630818192541317762013-08-14T17:29:26.812+01:002013-08-14T17:29:26.812+01:00Had a look at your blog.
