BLUEBERRY PICKING TIPS

Hang your bucket or basket on your belt with a clip or place your container on the ground just below where you are picking.
Move and lift branches to find hidden berries. Blueberry branches are like arms, supple and moveable
Use both hands to work at moving branches and picking berries
Place your hands under a cluster of berries and wiggle your fingers gently as the ripe berries will come off into your hands. Then let them drop into your bucket
Pick all the ripe berries from each bush

Imagine you are picking up all the sweet blueberries and placing them in a bucket! What a satisfaction. Well, now that you know about blueberry farming, let’s move on to harvesting them.

In most cases, the blueberry harvest depends on the weather conditions and the variety. For low bush berries, flowering is in the spring, and you can pluck the berries from June-August. If you are growing the high bush berries, you can have them in early-mid august. Again the rabbit eye bush can produce fruit in the June-July season.

They grow green as they start up and turn purple when they are ripe. You can pick the blue-purple berries after they get dark in color. Remember to pick those between 4-5 days. Otherwise, the sweetness will decrease.

How to pick the blueberries? Because the berries grow in a cluster, you need to check which one is ripe. So, first, see which one is bigger and darker in color, then pick them off the bushes, and you are ready for a blueberry recipe!
