The berries are starting to turn red but are deformed. Also the leaves are curling and have some yellowed regions. Please see the photos.
Overwatering, and/or nitrogen deficiency. I would quick fix by use of a purchased liquid fertilizer, higher in the N part of the 3 numbers (n,p,k) dosed at double the recommended, plus a calcium/magnesium supplement in the same feeding. Then let them dry out enough to be not moist to your first knuckle deep.
Some others here will likely suggest other methods that don't require a purchased fertilizer. And that's great, if you also have good homemade compost from your land. But I suggest if you already had that at hand you would have used it in the first place.
If you have or know someone who has a rabbit, you could make manure tea or just dig some fresh rabbit 🐇 💩 into the bed. No need to compost it.
Good luck. Let us know what you choose and how it works.
