Our blueberries all ripen over a period of days or even weeks, so they must 
be picked one by one.  No picking with a rake or other device, as some are 
dead ripe while others on the same bush are hard and green.

Subject: [NAFEX] When should I pick blueberries?




    I'm getting my first crop of blueberries but don't know when to pick
them.  If I leave them on the stem, waiting for all to ripen, will the first
ripe get over ripe and fall off?  I've got bird netting over them and
picking them one at a time off the stem is a bit tedious.
