There is nothing more satisfying than picking your produce fresh off a bush, plant or tree. I have been busy apple and blackberry picking these past two weeks and they have produced one delicious apple pie (courtesy of my mother), blackberry crumble bars and a freezer full of berries for the Winter. Whenever I see blackberries in the grocery store I feel smug because I would NEVER pay for those when I can get them for free everywhere around the city.
What is your favorite item to pick?
Me too! I am amazed they have a market for them. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love to pick blackberries because they're free, but our strawberries did amazing this year. There is something so exciting about pushing those leaves aside and finding a red berry hiding underneath. I think strawberry print fabric will be one of my favorites for that reason.
