Blueberries ~ Evening Snack

blueberries

This evening my daughter asked for and received blueberries. It’s her favorite fruit. We can feast on them anytime of day not only are they delicious but they are packed with vitamins & minerals.

My daughter can go through several containers of these per day. Thankfully I planted two blueberry trees last month. They’ll be bearing fruit soon.

    jessica,
    This is an actual tree not a bush. This tree is two years old. I picked it up at the local nursery. :-) I think they’ll get 15-20 ft.

    I have a cherry tree in my garden that is about 30 ft. During the fruiting season I have to cover it with a net otherwise the blackbirds will take them all. :-)
    I have a mulberry tree in the back yard it’s at least 60 ft. high (most likely more) although they like the mulberry they don’t like it as much as they like the cherry tree. :-)

    This is a great tasting fruit of all with very little calories, and it’s good for health.
