How to Make Blueberries

This Valentine's Day, I became the proud owner of a blueberry bush thanks to my hubby. We put in a few flower beds and needed something to fill them with...so a blueberry bush and some rose bushes where what the doctor ordered this time around.

Now, you may be asking, "how do you make a blueberry?" Follow these easy instructions, and you too may be the proud owner of a home-grown blueberry.

Step One: Buy Blueberry Bush (check)

Step Two: Have hubby plant Blueberry Bush before it dies a slow death in the garage (check)

Step Three: Water Blueberry Bush - they really appreciate it! (check, most days at least)

Step Four: Let God take over because you have been known to kill green things way too easily (check)

Step Five: Marvel and take pictures!
As you can see from the photos, this is what I have gathered on how a blueberry actually grows. With water and sunlight, they produce the most wonderful white, delicate, bell-like flowers. The flowers then drop off, and you're left with the flower base where the white part attached to and the middle stamen.

THEN...something marvelous happens and they start growing round and out, but still retain the leafy petal-ness of the flower base. So, if you ever look at a blueberry, you will note this on his bottom.

Crazy!

And that is how you make a blueberry!
