    I grow organic blueberries. They're actually sweeter the day after you pick them. Very good video. Wondering how these guys keep the birds off of their bushes!! 😂 I've had to build an entire structure around them for the birds in the summer and the hares in the winter!

      @@odafjm5 I HATE Japanese beetles!! They're now chewing up my cherry tree leaves. Such destructive little things!! They'll eat up all of my grape vines leaves too. They're having a harder time getting to the blueberries since the netting and haven't yet touched (knock on wood) my kiwi vines.

      They use a sound machine with bird sounds that keep them away, for beetles they use milky spore, nematodes, and plantings that attract them away!

      @You scared? I know, but they're not native and don't yet have a natural predator other than us humans. So they infest rather than just show up here and there. They'll kill entire trees and plants. Once they've placed their pheromones on something they like, thousands show up. They're a real pest.

    Fun fact: the blueberries you see in stores are usually all different. There are different types of blueberries and they were once known as starberries by natives because of their star-shaped crown.

    Babb's Blueberry farm near us will have new owners running it I last saw. Also, this means a new name.
    They couldn't do a U-pick this year sadly. So I look forward to meeting the new family over there, cuz my youngest really misses those blueberries! And I miss making real blueberry muffins. The ones at Walmart or Aldi's that come from out of state have been moldy or not ripe and sour within 24hrs even.
    Locally grown blueberries is best for folks who have any local to them.

    Ah, blueberrys i know of are close to the ground so you end up grabbing a whole branch and swiping your hand up to collect all the berrys to get a handful. The idea is to pick as many as possible so you dont bend over that much. It would take wayy to much time to only pick the best ones
