Blueberries are an all-round super crop. Not only are they super-easy to grow, but they are also a tasty superfood, packed with vitamins and antioxidants. August is a key time in the blueberry season, and a few important jobs will keep your plants healthy and preserve your harvests.
When you grow blueberries, August is prime picking season, so get out and harvest regularly, being sure to place your fruits carefully into a basket or this garden hod from Burpee. This way, you get the fruit at its best and avoid losing many of your berries to birds. If birds are an issue, as they often are, it is wise to net the plants this month to protect your harvest.
