winter gardening and a whole lot of blueberries


By jeremy - Posted on 15 August 2004

This weekend was mostly used for a winter gardening workshop with Oregon Tilth and picking another 33 pounds of blueberries from a u-pick farm outside of Sandy, OR (.75 miles east of Shorty's corner) with my sister's kids.

This will be my first time for winter gardening and I need to figure out if I'm going to use all the glass (in the form of sliding glass doors and several large windows) as cold boxes, a greenhouse or maybe both. Not to imply that all winter gardening needs to be in some type season extender, there are several crops that will grow through the winter without issue or they will over winter and start up as soon as the weather warms up.

As for the blueberries, I'm not quite sure what we are going to do with 25 pounds of blueberries. It is likely we will make (and learn out) to make blueberry jam, freeze a bunch and eat blueberries every morning for the next two weeks.
