This summer, my backyard turned into a blueberry jungle. I never expected to pick so many berries that I needed extra baskets—and extra hands! Turns out, spacing the bushes apart and mulching with pine needles made a huge difference. I also watered early in the morning, which kept the plants happy and the berries plump. When it was time to harvest, there were so many blueberries that I had to call my neighbors over. We split the haul three ways, and everyone left with bags full. Sharing the bounty made the whole experience even sweeter. If you’re thinking about growing blueberries, give your plants room and a little TLC. You might end up needing help, too! #gardening #blueberries #harvest
