My blueberry plant is fruiting well. I seem to be picking the

Do buleberries stay ripe on the plants for a week or so (like
currants) or do they go squashy and bad (like raspberries)? I
would rathr only pick once week for a longer time, than several
short periods.

If they are not netted round here they get eaten by the birds as they
gain colour - long before they are ripe enough for humans. YMMV

I prefer picking a few as and when needed. But they keep pretty well on
the plant and will just drop off when they become absolutely ripe.
