We were finally able to get out and pick blueberries this summer. We happened to stumble upon a patch while we were on a little outing near our home, but the ants were HORRIBLE!!!!! I had them crawling under my shorts a few times. Then I got a map to a "secret" location that was awesome: a ton of berries with NO ants!!!! For all of you fellow pickers: Sorry I cannot disclose my locations to anyone--TOP SECRET! My source made me eat my map. We have a freezer full of berries with some at my parents house as well. My mom also has been out quite a bit this summer and she has no room to spare in her freezers as well. I wanted to go out this weekend, but the boys weren't really up to it. We also had rain during the night so I thought the patch might be a little too wet to make the adventure.
My little guys were quite excited the first few times and then for the first few minutes each time after. The last time we went I packed extra snacks and movies for them to watch. That seemed to keep them occupied a bit longer.
So now we should have plenty of berries to last...I hope.
I love the 'scraps'--i think it is so pretty.
Just a sampling of our berries.
