National Blueberry Pie Day

With so many delicious and creative flavors of pie, how can you decide which one to eat? Today the decision is easy because it's National Blueberry Pie Day!

Blueberry pie is a sweet pie that can be filled with fresh or frozen blueberries, blueberry filling, or even blueberry custard. It's one of the more popular pie flavors and is common at summer picnics and July 4th celebrations when blueberries are in season.

Do you know which state produces the most blueberries? Maine! Maine actually produces 25% of all lowbush blueberries in North America. That makes this New England state the largest producer of blueberries in the world!

Head to your favorite bakery or make your own tasty blueberry pie to enjoy on National Blueberry Pie Day!

QUICK TIP:

Make Tea For Tools

To scour rusty garden tools, brew a few pots of strong black tea. When cool, pour into a bucket. Soak the tools for a few hours. Wipe each one with a cloth. (Wear rubber gloves or your hands will be stained.)
