Blueberry Blitz!

Dear Farmers and Foodies,

February/early March is the time to prune and/or divide blueberry bushes.  Blueberries are suited to our acidic soils, are pest-free, anti-oxidant, easy to mulch and grow, practically no watering needed after the first year.

So how about this:

Whether they're your bushes or a friend's or neighbor's, consider dividing or digging up some clumps to donate.  Think about which public spaces might benefit from free, pick-your-own food!

Then:

*  TELL your friends and neighbors about this effort.

*  BRING those baby blueberry starts here to Farm Up the Street.  Either potted or bare root.  Deadline March 7.
                                         And/or

*  LOCATE a place or some places that want and will accept a starter blueberry bush or several.  Consider parks, schools, median strips, libraries, churches, etc.
                                        And/or

*  VOLUNTEER to help Farm Up's cropmob group plant blueberry bushes on Saturday, March 13.  We'll show you how.  Bring a shovel, we'll furnish the rest of what we'll need

Please let us know what YOU can do to help with Farm Up's First Annual CropMob Blitz.
