Getting Sweeter




Already we have purple bilberry in pickable numbers. I don't think they are yet as sweet as they could be so will not be harvesting for a while. The risk is that others can't wait and the favourite spot you thought you were keeping for yourself has been picked over by the time they're ready. Thrushes don't wait and may eat them before they are purple. Wood pigeons are also greedy; they ravaged my garden redcurrants when still green.
