Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.

Wow, evergreen clippings? Like from an evergreen tree? That’s brilliant, I’ve got an evergreen partially in my yard so I’ve got endless clippings!

Yup yup! Seriously blueberries grow great out in NJ pine barrens and it's mostly from how acidic the soil is from the tree needles.

I ended up using a Yew trimmings which have the added benefit of really not making some of the weeds happy.
