My blueberry plant is fruiting well. I seem to be picking the
ripe berries every couple of day, but that is not doing my back
much good!

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.

Thanks for the replies, I'll leave them for a week or so and
see what they are like.

I lost a lot off an early plant to the birds, who somehow
managed to find ways into the net that I could not. I've now
put a second net draped over he plant, and also hung CD's on
the netting, and I seem to be wining!

I'm freezeing a lto of ours, as I've found they defrost well
and you wouldn't know they've been frozen.
