Blueberries can be a tasty and attractive addition to the suburban garden.
In the fall, blueberry bushes flame into scarlet, adding brilliant colour to what can be a dull season. One of my fondest childhood memories is of picking blueberries at a u-pick berry farm with my family, popping as many blueberries into my mouth as I put into my pail. When I was a child, I thought eating blueberries was like eating sunshine. You can have the same experience on a smaller scale. If you're a gardener who grows mainly flowers, you may not have thought of it, but blueberry bushes take no more room than a typical dahila or rosebush and are less work than either.
