I’ve been picking them most of my life. My dad planted 400 blueberry plants when I was a kid and I picked and sold them on the roadside. I have about 30 big plants now just for my family. My wife often remarks, “Why are the blueberries you pick always so much better?” I don’t pick unripe berries!

So right now I just have one lone blueberry bush at my camp and it's still tiny so every summer I watch the berries grow and wait and wait and wait and then the day before they're ready to pick the ducklings eat all the berries. Sigh. Everyone's gotta eat.
