Not sure about Ragged but on Welch they have a ways to go. Still small, green and hard. I would guess 1 - 1 1/2 weeks. Here’s a pic of the bushes on my property...

It will be at least another month, most everything is late this year.

Blueberries end of July +/-. Raspberries now. Blackberries mid August. Grapes mid Sept plus. Strawberries are past.

Ragged island blueberries as of yesterday!

chaseisland · 07-13-2018, 10:07 AM

Our first pick of the season. What's next?

DEJ · 07-13-2018, 12:01 PM

Looks good however many berries not ripe and the ones that you think are ripe are a little tart tasting. Another week and they will taste like blueberries, not tart berries. However if that is what you like then pick away.

Ishoot 308 your berries aren’t ripe because that’s not a blueberry. Wow

Every year we pick them and eat them and they sure taste like blueberries! Wow!

Just because those are blue berries doesn't mean they are blueberries.

Did you not read the part where I said we eat them also?? Trust me they are “blueberries”... they are all over our Island...

DEJ · 07-14-2018, 10:10 AM

ishoot, you might have huckleberries.

chaseisland · 07-14-2018, 10:10 AM

These are from Chase. I only pick from Chase and Farm.

I guess that’s better than being accused of having “dingleberries”!

Now that was funny right there!!

chaseisland · 07-14-2018, 11:50 AM

Now if I can find a good hunk of cheddar cheese.

Greene's Basin Girl · 07-20-2018, 12:50 PM

We are picking blueberries now. We have several wild bushes on our land on Grassy Pond and in Green's Basin. Sorry, but the bushes are not open to the public.We freeze them so we can have blueberry pie all year.

Dave M · 07-20-2018, 01:09 PM

You may want to try cream cheese with your pies. Goes well with any pie except pumpkin. My dad got me hooked on it since I was a kid.

chaseisland · 07-21-2018, 10:06 AM

Thanks DaveM, never gave cream cheese a thought. Wil try the combination with the next pie as long as it's not lemon meringue.

I gotta think so--they've been on Gunstock, Piper, and Whiteface the last few weekends.
