Blueberries

We decided to try picking blueberries. I had seen various signs on different highways in the past, and finally looked it up on the internet to find the locations.

So one morning we got up promptly before it got too hot and drove about an hour east to a farm when you are allowed to pick. They provided gallon sized buckets and directed us to the best areas. We spent about an hour and then returned to have them weighed.

The blueberry bushes were so pretty. The ripe ones were very easy to find since the unripe ones were pink or green. Plus bushes are taller and don't have thorns.

The farm also had blackberries, so we spent another half hour picking them.

Once at home, I put them all in yogurt containers and froze them. We picked 15 quarts of blueberries and 10 quarts of blackberries. The average cost was $6/quart.
