I, too, seem to never be able to grow enough blueberries - or strawberries.
Is there a prolific bearing blueberry that will grow here is zone 9?

The rats in one study were from a breed that tends to develop
alzheimers. The blueberry-fed rats had similar plaque in their brains,
but much better brain function than the control rats.

I also saw the study on coordination and learning in older rats who ate
blueberries. I've been eating more blueberries ever since. I like
blueberries a lot, but stuff like this makes it a little easier to
justify the price. . . Some day I hope to grow enough blueberries to
freeze them. Now, I consume my complete crop by nibbling when I am out
doing yardwork. Sigh.
