Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. They are tasty and super versatile. Pancakes, jam, syrup, in salads, cereal, or yogurt, and they freeze beautifully. Charlie likes them with sour cream and brown sugar. When we moved into our house there were two mature bushes in the front yard. The pacific northwest is perfect blueberry growing weather. I added in six bushes early this spring and watched as the chickens stripped each one of tender new leaves. I put up a bird mesh fence around the little bushes (in this picture all you can see are the green metal posts---the mesh is almost invisible), and over the summer they regained enough leaves to survive. There won't be many berries from them this year but hopefully next year they will be more robust. The mature plants are a different story. They are loaded with berries. I picked three cups worth just the other night. Tasty!
