Such great advice Pat; in fact, that is one of my FAV fruits! we used to grow them, but mostly the birds got to them before we did, but it was still fun. You must be the healthiest human on earth!! your poems are so pure; you sense what's healthy, plus you are an expert on flowers, birds, etc. you must be a great cook too!!!! I'm coming over for dinner and bird-watching!!!
Best, Betty

I used to be a good Cook... but as we get older there are so many things we cannot eat with my husband taking dialysis and I get Gout from tomatoes and Seafood. The Secret is to eat well and enjoy while you are Young. I can eat fruit and some other things in moderation. Be well and eat wisely... Pat

Your blueberries are a magic and vital fruit; would be hard to find another more beneficial. Enjoy as many of them as you add letters to your poems, Pat! Many thanks for spreading their glory. Needless to say there are hints galore about them online.. recipes too. By the way they make a fantastic smoothie!!!
Hope all's safe and sound in your world and Roger is doing well.

we are plantin, growin and eatin, and them blueberries just can't be beaten
Wisteria blooms are starting to peak and we expect to see them some time next week
the birds are hopping and makin their nests and baby squirrels are beatin their active breasts
leaves are fluttering and as blossoms appear, this must be the best part of natures full year

Blueberry muffins and blueberry cheesecake are awesome
Blueberry pancakes, pies and biscuits come to mind in savoring this wonderful berry. I did not knw all these health benefits. I can see you like natural and holistic medicines. Me too. An excellent, informative poem.

We moved to a different home and we are trying to establish new plantings of Blueberries. It is worth the time it takes to find the perfect Area on your land.
Vegetables are very particular about the soil and sunshine. Thanks for your ideas about natural and holistic medicines. I read that Celery can help control “blood pressure”. as ever, Pat

Hello, Patricia! :)
Blueberries are a favorite of mine. I used to pick them in grandma's yard, as a boy. Thanks for sharing.

I'm definitely hooked on blueberries, altho I can't seem to grow them. I'm on my 4th bush (blooming now, there will be some blueberries this year!), but there's something about my location they don't like. Other berries do great in my hot dry climate! Before my various blueberry bushes went downhill, however, I did have a few amazing harvests over the years.
To me, there's nothing like being out in the garden, puttering & watering & weeding, passing by a berry bush, spotting something bright & beckoning, leaning, leaning to reach it . . . picking & eating on the spot. I've posted pictures of my berries on FB many times & people always say: "oh! so good with whipped cream" or "bake a pie!" But for me, the whole reason to grow berries is to eat them right off the bush. There's nothing like it. Thank you for taking me on this mental reverie as I eagerly await my enormous raspberry bush to begin pumping some action just outside the window where I sit at this computer, eyeing the bushing-out progress daily! So few words in your poem have taken me such delicious places! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
I have about a hundred strawberry plants which are blooming like crazy & I saw my first slightly red berry yesterday!!!!
