Not if you have a peach tree nearby, they prefer the peaches, which is fine with me. I'll be having a fresh blueberry pie this evening, instead of Ann's favorite of a peach cobbler.

With my berries, lay them flat on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, then into a zip lock bag.

Got a mockingbird that fusses at me every time I go out there but they haven't been too bad this year!

I have 3 big blackberry bushes very close to my blueberries and I believe the birds prefer the blackberries too, which is fine with me because I have plenty of those!

My brother brought me a container of berries he picked and they were so good nothing like you buy at the store

Store bought one usually don't have the flavor. They are more worried about increasing the size so they look more appealing.

You should not be picking blueberries from atop a ladder. Right after harvest is the best time to prune.
