TRUE BLUE SUPER FRUIT

CAN BE GROWN IN THE HOME GARDEN

Blueberries are my favorite fruit

and a well known source of antioxidants.

But thanks to a recent visit to a friend's garden here,

I've just discovered they're easy to grow

(as long as you use bird netting),

and thrive in virtually all climates

(from the northern states all the way down to Florida.)

Blueberries are native to North America

and produce abundant fruit on shoulder-high bushes.

The USDA has determined that blueberries are

the #1 fruit in antioxidants . . . helping to lower cholesterol

and blood pressure . . . prevent urinary tract infections . . .

improve memory and eyesight . . . and slow aging.

Oh yeah . . . and they're absolutely delicious!
