I don't know if
it's all the rain we've had & now the heat, but we have loaded blueberry
bushes--except the berries are mostly sour. (The ones I sold last
week were sweeter.) They've come in about a week early so I'm not sure if
later ones will sweeten up. I should have known something was up since
there has been little bird & deer damage. I sold out of the berries by
8:00 last Saturday and they were priced almost twice what others had theirs
priced. I don't get a chance to scout the market before I'm inundated with
customers & since we don't have a permanent spot, we're one of the last
produce people allowed to set up before opening so we're usually scrambling to
set up while selling at the same time. Now I'm afraid those customers who
bought last week will come back and buy these and they won't taste the
same. Should I warn them to sweeten them up a bit?? It doesn't take
much and then the blueberry flavor really pops, but they don't taste like that
on their own.
