I never heard of the Becky Blue either til I got mine. I bet there are hundreds of different ones. But I just love blueberries and I can't really tell a difference in each one. I know that some bushes have sweeter bigger juicier berries than others though.<br /><br />And that's why I can't have free range chickens anymore. Too many plants and flowers and bushes and gardens.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-23398352260678726442013-06-14T21:33:36.097-07:002013-06-14T21:33:36.097-07:00I bought 3 blueberry plants a couple years ago.

I have 2 Legacy and 1 Arlen or Arlene, something like that. My Mom and I have been snatching them up every time we walk by and see new ripe berries. But one of the chickens discovered them. So I hope she doesn't strip the plants.<br /><br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-49684749364467719192013-06-14T18:37:27.895-07:002013-06-14T18:37:27.895-07:00Kristin, that's what I've been doing.

But right now, I am enjoying every single one! This is a dream of mine, to go outside and just pick hand fulls of blueberries and eat all I want. That's really the only way I like them, right off the bush. So get all you want while you can, is what I say!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-18711590362602290002013-06-14T18:35:29.660-07:002013-06-14T18:35:29.660-07:00Sandra, have you tried mulching them with pine str...Sandra, have you tried mulching them with pine straw too? And some fish emulsion might help.

The kids asked me yesterday when we were going to get blueberries. I fessed up and told them I'd been eating them all but they are welcome to pick and eat what is ripe each day too. I guess they're waiting for me to pick them and bring them in?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845268534571646512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-36307786686602592282013-06-14T04:16:00.570-07:002013-06-14T04:16:00.570-07:00I looked at ours yesterday.

They are so yummy!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643387947219993819noreply@blogger.com
