Where are blueberries in season in the spring? In the big blueberry-growing
areas in the US, they are in season mostly in July/August.

I am prejudiced in favor of Maine wild blueberries, which are smaller and
more flavorful, as opposed to big high bush berries from places like New
Jersey and Michigan. Blueberries freeze perfectly well for most uses, as
others have noted. If you need to buy frozen ones in the store, I'd look for
Wyman's. (They are from Maine.)
