Is blueberries a heavy feeder?

There is that zone where it would get what it needs. Mulch is key. I mulch with spoiled rolls of hay and always need a little sulfur on top. I'm also watering in the summer with hard water so Any conifer/oak chips are great to mulch with. I have some sandy spots, and some heavy loamy spots. With hard water and hay, my trend is ph upwards, so maybe now I should build woody acid munch on top and go with dilute liquified chicken tea/kelp. Next year...next year Harvestman brother I think that the proscrptions of the USDA, supported by the tecnocratic inteligencia, have created an intellectual climate that justifies both morally and intelectually the "green revolution" and our dependence on the corporate agro-industrial complex. Folks,if the labor and material costs are prohibitive, if you aren't using mulches and your livelihood depends on it, you better get yourself some slow release 17-7-8. diffusion or scott's and that's the truth of the matter. Its not like the pig effluence spraying that goes on from corn growing operations. Lord have mercy when the rains come! When it's all said and done I'll have an acre of bbs, and 1/2 acres of pears to tend to.

Steve, I don't grow Austin, have the others. Brightwell is the sweetest, but a shy bearer. I get a lot more berries(at least 5 times as many) off the same size bush of Tifblue, and they are very good and large if left on the bush to mature. Premier is also very productive, but I prefer Tifblue. Climax would be one to consider, it is earlier, very good flavor, and productive. Don't know about drought tolerant, I live in the mountains, and have many springs that keep my ground moist. Benny

If I may, I like to make a little correction to your statement to:

"First MARVELOUS, DAZZLING, DELECTABLE LOOKING blueberry pie of the season."

That's a beauty!!! There's nothing like a fresh blueberry pie. I made one about 10 days ago from local berries.

I've just been eating fresh blueberries as fast as I can. Now I guess I'll have to make pie!

I know it won't look like that, though, even if I tried...

Ooooo...pretty! Can't wait...they're late here. My little bb plants will give us a handful, but no real harvest for another year or two, so we will hit the u-pick. This weekend we had to pacify ourselves with a huckleberry cream pie.

I resisted opening this thread, ..for a while. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Blueberry pie is my all time favorite, and yours are always so beautiful. This one does deserve all the accolades DCArch attributed to it. It's one thirty and now I'm hungry. Rice Krispies just don't sound like a good substitute. Moan.....

Ooooh! Blueberry pie, my favourite...actually blueberry anything is my favourite.

Ontario blueberries are at their best and I'm intending on getting a bunch this weekend at the farmers market....but damn they surely don't give them away :(

LOL Dcarch! You sure have a delectable way with words (and photos).

Anne, do you think it would be too much bother to cut a small slice, package it well and send it to me? I don't like blueberries at all, and bb pie is hubby's very favourite, so alas, he doesn't get to eat it often. Perhaps at a restaurant, but of course they don't taste as good as yours would.

Are they wild or cultivated? Looks like a great pie.

Another type of pie that I've never had!! I only ever had blueberries after moving to California, and lately I've grown quite fond of them and am thrilled when they are in season, although still expensive here. I'll just have to imagine what a blueberry pie tastes like!!

My guess is that they are wild blueberries.

Thank you all.

It really was good. I took it next door and shared it with our neighbours.

They are from a local blueberry farm so they are not wild. Lots of flavour though. Not sure how the price compares to Ontario or elsewhere, but these were on special for the last two days for $9.99 for a five pound box. $2.00 a pound is about the lowest price I've seen them for.

I bought another box today.

We stopped by the bb farm today and they are just starting to pick. They had picked-this-morning berries in the fridge so I grabbed a gallon for $15. It was shopping on the honor system. I love it...take your fresh or frozen berries from fridge/freezer in the shed and leave payment in the box. If you don't have change, no matter, there's plenty of cash in the box.

I recently became addicted to blueberries. I put them on everything to a point that now it is upset my stomach. Too much of the good is sure bad!

Your pie looks so delicious and beautiful! Is there any home for sale next to yours? I wanna be your neighbor :)

We don't really have the climate here for blueberries :-( When available they're about $4-5 for a 4oz punnet. Too expensive for pies (or most things really :-( )
