A Garden of Delights Flower and Plant Tips Harvesting Blueberries Blueberry harvest is in full swing. Follow these tips to get the best fruits.
Blueberries develop their maximum sweetness a few days after they initially turn blue.
Gently rub the clusters of blueberries and those that easily fall into your hands are ripe. Harvest every few days to keep ahead of the ripening fruit. Pull the bulbs from the soil and let them dry outdoors in a dry, airy location for about a week. Once the onion or garlic neck has withered and the skin on the bulbs is shiny, store your bulbs in a dry, dark location with temperatures between 35 and 50 degrees F. Sweet onions will not store for long, so they should be eaten soon. Garlic generally will store for many months.
