Learn how to plant blueberries and begin to produce some of your own food while beautifying your yard!
Here are some facts about blueberries you probably don't know:
* They produce 10-15 pounds of fruit per plant at maturity!
* 6 hours of maintenance per year when planted with beneficial companion plants,
* They are some of the earliest bloomers in the spring and have 4 season interest,
* Kids and adults really like to eat them!
* Their cost keeps climbing, so why not grow your own for your school, neighborhood, or home!
