Best blueberry varieties to ensure the continuous crop throughout the season?

Hi guys, i want to order some blueberry plans and hoping to get a couple of early fruiting, couple of mid season and couple of late season plants to ensure crop from early summer all the way to autumn. I'm looking for varieties that produce large berries that are firm and sweet, and preferably heavy croppers. I know - I ask a lot! :wink: What would you recommend? I'm in Manchester :blush: Thanks a lot!

    I've been growing them for a few years now and had surprisingly good crops.

    Early I have - Patriot - Bland and tasteless in my opinion - will swap it out
    Mid-Season - OzarkBlue - huge berries and very good flavour
    Mid/Late season - Herbert - reputedly the best tasting of all - and it is very good indeed, but a bit more acidic than most.

    I bought mine from Trehane Nurseries and very pleased with them
