Evening Edge

Blueberries will be ready for picking in mid-June, and there are a number of spots across Georgia where you can gather them. The hours vary at each spot, as do the practices. Some places grow the berries organically. Some spots provide the containers for your blueberry bounty.

The important thing: call before leaving the driveway.
