Strawberry Picking

I am in eastern canada and we will not have strawberries for at least another month. They are flowering right now though. Every summer I go berry picking. Strawberries come out first and we try to get as many as we can. My friend gives me their rhubarb that grows wild in their yard and I go around and get the wild strawberries and make the most amazing jam from it. Basically I only pay for the sugar so it is great and cheap and organic and local and the kids love it. My favorite berries are blueberries which here in Nova Scotia grow like crazy and I can freeze for a whole year of muffins or pancakes or anything else. Yum!

100s and 100s of times - there is nothing in the world better than fresh strawberries right off the plants. Last year I grew my own but didn't get too many strawberries. Had to move though and my plants got left behind. I will have them again someday though.

Hello Shar. I have no idea how to call this fruit in English, but we call it YangMei in Chinese. It is a kind of fruit grown on trees. It tastes sweet and sour as well. There was one time when I was invited to pick this kind of fruit on the spot and asked to eat them after they were picked. I love this kind of fruit and so do many other Chinese. Here is the photo for you to have a look at the fruit on the tree.

I still don't have experienced that strawberry picking. But I have so many other experienced like rice planting, rice harvesting etc. I hope someday I can go to Baguio to experienced that one.

YES, I have but it's been a long time. Can't get down to do that anymore on account of my back & kness but wisj=h i could. THEY ARE THE BEST!!

I've NEVER done this before, but I've always wanted to! Were they commercial strawberry fields that you went to, or does someone you know own a strawberry field?I'm definitely interested in going to one, but I don't think they have 'em where I live (Minnesota)!

That sounds like alot of fun. I have not been strawberry picking in a very long time. I have not been since I was a kid. I do not know where a local strawberry farm is around the new area we have moved to either.

I have never had the pleasure of strawberry picking before but we did have a chance to pick mangoes from out trees out in the yard. They were so sweet and there were so many of them that we had to give them away. Cheers!!

I have been berry picking before in my yard, but never strawberry picking out in a big field or anything. I bet it would be fun though. My kids love strawberries. I am sure they would be a complete mess when they were done too.

I love strawberries so much, I think you really had so much fun. I don't go strawberry picking before, as in my city there's no strawberry garden. I have seen a TV programme about strawberries picking, but the strawberries are planted in a green house, the strawberries were so big, so juicy and red when the host of the programme picked them. I wish I will go strawberry picking someday.

Strawberries fresh from the patch are definitely the best! My grandparents always had a huge strawberry patch when I was growing up. We would usually visit for a week in June. Every morning we would have to go pick strawberries. I was still young at the time so I only had to fill 2 1-gallon buckets before I could go in. Everyone else had 5 gallon buckets to fill! My aunt and her kids were always glad for the week we were there. That meant they didnt have to come strawberry picking everyday! They usually had to do it for at least 3 weeks and would get quite sick of it! We always had tons and tons of strawberries, but they were so delicious. Especially when you would pick them and eat them right away. nothing quite like a fresh, sun-warmed strawberry! Of course the other nice part was freezing them so we could have delicious strawberries all year long! Glad you had fun!

When we go in Baguio, we usually do is to pick some fresh strawberry in strawberry farms, this is a exciting feeling, and also the cheapest way to purchase strawberry.
