You could definitely use frozen blueberries

CP63 our local supermarket has started unit pricing, so I know that the frozen berries are around $13-$14 a kilo, so yes they are certainly cheaper than the fresh (which I have most recently seen for up around $30 per kilo). Having said that I don't like frozen blueberries so it is interesting to read what Cuilidh says about them being picked too early.

Thanks for the link to plant suppliers too. I will certainly check this out.

Kerryn, I'm not sure where in Melbourne you are, but I go to the Abbotsford Childrens Farm farmers market (2nd Saturday of the month) or the Abbotsford Convent slow food market (4th Saturday of the month) for my blueberries.  There is only one blueberry seller there so you can't go to the wrong stand by mistake - their name is Moondara (I think, but I'm not near my freezer at the moment to check).  They are also selling fresh blueberries at the moment as it is their picking season so you have the choice of fresh or frozen.  Other than that, I know there are other organic blueberries available at the organic stalls at Victoria market, but I have found the Moodara to be consistently the best.
