Is the Vegeswamps quest bugged?

[rwd_1980]

After getting this quest I went off to the swamp looking for lettuce, asparagus, leeks, and blueberries.
I found that the only item that actually grows in the swamp is lettuce. Asparagus and leeks are swamp adjacent, but I eventually found them because I'm a curious person and I like to run around seeing what resources can be found in different locations.
I couldn't find blueberries anywhere. So I finally broke down and went searching online for guidance. The Wiki has a map showing the one location where blueberries can be harvested. So off I went to the indicated location, and there were no blueberries. Then I saw a post here about needing a sickle, and needing that to cut down the bushes to get blueberries. So off I go to get a sickle. With newly purchased sickle in hand I run back to the blueberry area to find that I could not interact with the bushes in any way. That started to make me think I might have wasted 550 Drops to get the sickle.
According to the Wiki blueberries grow in all seasons.
So what am I doing wrong? Is there something I'm missing?

Blueberries do not grow in all seasons: Bloom and Frost don't get them. I went to that spot at the top of the stairs and found a few blueberries in my game just now during Reverie. Alternatively, just grow them on your farm. The quest doesn't actually care where you get them.

If you are in a season that allows blueberries, it may still take a few days for them to (re)grow in. One of the tooltips mentions that 'plants grow at their own pace.'

The sickle is entirely unrelated to the quest. You should get a sickle anyways since harvesting/gathering anything with it increases the quality of the item and gives a chance to harvest seeds. It's not a waste of amber.

Whoever mentioned chopping down bushes with the sickle was wrong. That's not how the sickle works. You use the sickle directly on the item on the ground just as if you were directly picking it up.

You only get access to the seeds *after* that quest.

I get seeds by using the CYCLE when cutting them. It took awhile to find the Lettuce though. I fly to the top of the mountain before you get to the swamp to pick the Berries, Leeks, Asparagus. These are only in that first mountain. I fly to the top and work my way down 1 or 2 levels to get the three items. As for the LETTUCE it is found at the CHICKEN STATUE in BASK to the NORTH of the MOUNTAIN then to the WEST to the PLATO that you see in the distance. Once there LAND then look NORTH the LETTUCE is near the COPPER ROCKS and watch out for the BEES.

Use the sickle whenever you can because it gives you higher quality items, plus seeds which for rare things is a must. Higher quality flowers and herbs means you make a higher quality item which means more money... I noticed that it wasn't until I updated my sickle to the highest one that I started to get epic quality. Blueberries are a pain, luckily I just gather everything and store it, so I already had the ones I needed for the quest.
