blueberries can grow on one bush. At first the blueberries are green. The green berries are not ready to
eat yet. They need a lot of sun and rain to help then become fat and sweet. When the berries turn blue,
they are ripe and ready to be picked.
Some farmers grow blueberries in big fields. The people who live nearby can earn money by helping to pick
the blueberries. Each one takes a pail out to the field and fills it with blueberries. They work fast so that
they can fill many pails. They want to earn as much money as they can. When they are done picking their
fingers are blue from the juice of the berries!
After the blueberries are picked, they are put into boxes and sent to stores. People buy the blueberries and
take them home to eat. Some people like to wash the berries and eat them one by one. Other people like
to cook with blueberries. They make blueberries muffins and pancakes. No matter how you eat them,
blueberries taste great!
