Hahahaha, Ruud was being very nasty to me. Jealous I'm sure.

Rosebud, 6 bushes but two still small. I have harvested three times this year and taken off 2.5 kg. of berries so far with still a lot to come. Best year so far. This evening I harvested what you see on the picture, 1100 grams (1.1 kg. for those with metric problems hehehe).

Thanks for the compliments. I just love showing off here, so many appreciative people. Friends and family would just see a bunch of veggies, big deal.

Of course Tim, good old Rakker french beans, the freezer is clean and waiting for the big haul very soon now.

Yes, the big trug is very clean, it's my fancy one. I usually harvest in the small trug (which is looking rather weathered and stained after harvesting strawberries and beetroots in it) and unload into the big one (only cleanish stuff hahaha) to collect all.
I got the trugs last year from England and I never want to do without anymore. Harvesting in bags is a pain, using my big basket is not handy because it doens't fit between the rows and with a bucket you always have to find the handle and also doesn't fit in the rows. Trugs you just swoop up as you go and plonk anywhere between rows. The British know what's handy.

Is there a 'best' type??

Of blueberries? I think so.
We have several types but the names and locations in relation to the other bushes is hanging on the wall in the shed on the lottie. Next trip there I'll look them up and tell you which I think is best. I know one is Early Blue, another is Blau trauben or something like that and another type. I'll try not to forget to post it.
