leaves turning red, about to harvest

[Berrymn]

Please help!  The leaves on some of my blueberry bushes are turning red and they're just now coming in to harvest.  Also, some of the berries are very small and shriveled up, but I am getting several good ones.  What is going on?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Susan,

I'm a rookie at growing blueberries, but one of Nathan Nourse's previous responses led me to a blueberry diagnostic web page from Cornell University. It is a very well organized site and may help you out. Good luck.

Susan,
I agree with Jim. Please take a look at your watering practices, it has been very dry and berries need 2-4 inches per week during harvest. You should also get a pH test, the redening is usually to high pH.
