Blueberries...Never Again!

We went blueberry picking a few days ago with a few friends. I will never go blueberry picking again. I've been picking berries five times this summer already, and loved it! We've come home with dozens of pounds every time and made jam, and froze some for the winter. This was my first time for blueberries, and it was no fun! For one, the berries are not ripe just because they are blue. Annoying. They are so small, and it takes a lot of them to fill up a bucket! We were gone for several hours and all I came home with was a small bowl, not enough to even freeze any! Thank goodness for good friends, or I would have lost my mind! We did have a good cobbler, thanks to Sarah and Kellie, and we enjoyed dinner together, so I guess that was worth it.

So if you want to go and pick berries together, I'd love to go! As long as it's not blueberries...

I agree with you, it take forever to pick blueberries. My Mother in law is very speedy when it comes to this. We have some bushes, the girls picked some yesterday. They were sour! "but their so blue mom".
