Whaaaaaaat?!! You can get the bushes! When do you order and receive, spring? We need some too! I’d like to have enough berries to dry. Have you had dehydrated blueberries? They are imo the best dried berry. I can only imagine what these sweet plumpers would be like! Gah it’s going to be so hot this week I don’t want to go pick. Maybe I will call and see if they are coming down here again next weekend. It’s only $2 more per picked gallon anyway.

I got two thornless blackberry and two boysenberry bushes from market and they are huge already! We just had most of our yard finished yesterday, but because of the expected heat this week, I’m going to wait a while for it to cool off before planting them from their buckets.

I saw that market had huckleberries up there and almost drove up but decided to take a chance on here first. They really are so much work to get and it seems they are harder to find. The guy I got them from today would only answer a lady (that kept pressing him for where he goes) that he goes north of your town. I don’t blame him, I wouldn’t tell a bunch of strangers where I went either

What is are your favorite things to make with frozen berries?

We will have a bunch of tomatoes this week, first ID tomatoes ever!! Not quite sure what to do with them all...maybe a small batch of salsa...I will look up some recipes. I’ve never canned it but would try if we had enough.

So, to keep this post on topic for the title- I have decided now to can some blueberry jam so will get more berries for sure.
