BLACKBERRY AND BLUEBERRY TIME IN PITT COUNTY

Last week Master Gardeners harvested 11 1/2 pounds of blackberries and 2 pounds of blueberries at the Arboretum.  All of our fruit is donated to the local food bank.  You can see that there are still many to ripen. We can see some great pies, muffins, pancakes, or just healthy snacking going on.  With a little work, you too could have these growing in your garden.  Click below for growing information for these berries.
