...or not. As the phone I've been using to take photos lately won't upload them to the computer! GRRRR!!
It seems as if South America has a bumper blueberry crop right now as they're incredibly cheap. I oh so foolishly went to Waitrose first to get one of their big £3 packs (admittedly, they are firm and sweet and just lovely). I went to market second, with the intention of getting some organic veg from the er... organic veg bloke. I'm trying to be good and eat more organic y'see. So I got my beets, broccoli and greens for a very reasonable price then at the next stall along I spied blueberries for £1. Not just one pack for £1, but four! I weighed them when I got in and they're just over a kilo in weight! Admittedly they're a bit soft, but perfect for blending or mixing into yogurt, porridge or muffins.
When I eventually own my own house, I'd like to have enough space to plant blueberry bushes. And sweet chesnut trees, apple treas, pears, cherry, almond, the list goes on really. I basically want an entirely edible garden! And some chickens, ducks or rabbits would be nice. I grew up in a big city in teeny council houses, but weirdly we always had fruit trees, veg plots and chickens. I didn't appreciate them much at the time but now I can't wait to have my own.
Right, it's absolutely freezing and I'm peckish, so I think I'll go make some blueberry porridge :)
Ah now I get your comment on my blog! We started off in a flat and grew a few things in pots, now we are building our garden bit by bit into a wildlife friendly, food producing haven!
