Not Too Late to Order Blueberries

Blueberries may be the most versatile fruit in the world! Blueberry plants grow well in the Sandhills, especially Vaccinium ashei or rabbiteye varieties, which are native to this area. The plants are well suited to the home garden, don't require a lot of space, and do double duty as an ornamental. Blueberries make delicious jams and jellies, pies, additions to salads, are wonderful eaten as a snack, over waffles, or in pancakes, and are so healthy and full of antioxidants.

Due to strong demand, the plant sale conducted by the Moore County Master Gardeners has been extended through January 31.

To receive a brochure describing the figs, grapes, and blueberries being sold, contact The Agricultural Extension Office at 947-3188. Be sure to get your order in by the end of January!
