Thoughts on Blueberries

I have been thinking about getting blueberry plants this year, because my whole family likes blueberries, but they cost a "ton"! I have heard that you will need two plants per person and since there are four of us we will need eight. I have a feeling though, that we would have to grow many more plants: in case we eat all of them and not have enough to bake, cook, or freeze, or in case some die. I also have to figure out where on our property would be a good place to grow all of them. I have a feeling that we will have to fence the plants in due to the chickens, wild birds, and our Jack Russell Terrier dogs eating all of them. :P Then I have to figure out what kind I want. I was going through a fruit and veggie, etc. catalog and there were so many different kinds of blueberries to choose from, but I am sure I will find one that suites me well.

Today I spoke with a wonderful woman that I know on the phone and she said that blueberry plants take seven years to get full grown!
Then she said, "You might not still be there in seven years, though."
I answered, "I was thinking the same thing! haha!"
Then she stated, "You know, your father (and mother) would enjoy them! You could grow them and always come by once in a while to pick them. That way you can visit him and your mother often and pick berries while you are at it."
I answer: "You know what, I like that idea!!"

So after talking with her, I think I will do just that, plant them and pick them when I can and if I am married by/in seven years then I can go over and pick them!...Yeahh!! :D
