My mother would make pies from what we grew in our garden and we had a good size rhubarb patch, a quarter acre of strawberries and ten high bush blueberry bushes. Her pies were "to die for" and she would bake strawberry-rhubarb or blueberry-rhubarb pies all the time. We had lots of apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, corn, beans, squash, etc. so we ate very well and liked what we ate, thanks to Mom.
