Good morning.Still mild.A few showers last night.
when my children were small.We used to go pick our own.
Not sure how many does this here.But if you are picking the best is get very low to the ground to find the good ones.
These are very delicious.We have strawberry festival and music.
This is quite an event.The children enjoy picking and eating of course.
Right now we have organic farm to pick.
Any places there so you can do this.?we have quite a few.
These are much better than store bought.Believe m.

We love picking strawberries! There are 2 sister farms we can do this at - about a 30 minute drive away. But I don't think ours is organic. Nothing beats the taste and sweetness of a warm, freshly picked strawberry! Although when it comes to NH, Hubby has fond memories of the raspberries there!

@amadeo Hubby's dad was from NH (I forgot which city, I'll ask tonight!). He moved to CA as an adult because he could not stand the winter weather - and he was not particular close to his family (who remained in NH, I believe). But when Hubby was a kid, they took a rode trip in a van from here to NH . . . Hubby remembers all the green and like I said the raspberries. When we go hiking here, he will point out certain greenery that remind him of that NH trip.

Strawberry season ended over a month ago here. My father's parents made a living farming strawberries. My father worked the field from he time he was old enough to walk until he went to college.

A strawberry festival sounds nice. My husband and I don't usually pick our strawberries, and I don't if it is possible to do that in our area, but many farms sell their strawberries.

@Porcospino yes the farm does sell if you do not feel like picking.
Mostly some do this as a family thing

When my best friend was still alive, I would often drive out to visit her in CT. She lived near many farms and she would drive us to one of them and we'd pick strawberries. Then we would go back to her place and make preserves. We had enough to feed armies! Those were the days!

A friend and I go pick strawberries every spring. Alas our strawberry season is over. It will be time to pick blueberries soon.

Strawberries are not readily available here. Also they are quite expensive here because they are mostly imported.
I wish I could be a part of such festival.

Thanks for sharing a beautiful picture of strawberry plants and how these are picked and collected. We do not have any strawberry plants in our area and whatever strawberries are available in the market, they are highly priced and are not very sweet.

The picture you share reminds me of when my children were real young. My husband and I took them to a strawberry farm not too far from our house to pick fresh strawberries and we picked a lot! When we got home, my youngest son who was age 3 at the time, loved the strawberries and ate so many of them, that he got "Hives"! He got a very itchy uncomfortable rash on his legs. I had to take him to his Pediatrician who gave him a Benedryl Shot for the itching.
We thought at the time, that maybe the owners of the Strawberry Farm had sprayed some sort of Pesticide on the berries that caused my son's Hives.
He was scared to eat them anymore and for years didn't until one day when he was a young teen, he ate them again and didn't suffer any reaction.

When I was young we had many types of berry bushes and it was fun picking both strawberries, blackberries etc. I haven't picked any berries in ages but do enjoy my berries even if they come from a store these days
