Strawberry Picking - Yummy!

On Friday, Karen, Logan, Kayleigh, Rosie and Bob went strawberry picking. This was a great field to pick in. The strawberries were beautiful, easy to pick and very tasty. Logan and Rosie are deciding which berries to pick. The red ones taste a whole lot better!

Logan has the opportunity to try an "on the spot" taste test. He approves and decides that putting strawberries in the bucket is a waste of time. Going directly from plant to mouth cuts out the middleman and is great fun. He did pick off the green leaves which were carefully added to the bucket before eating the berry.

"I can eat this whole row of strawberries? Wow - that's great!"


Here's Rosie showing off the results of our labor. We picked these two buckets full in about 15 minutes. Not bad for amateurs. (She was actually showing off the strawberry "fingerprints" on her jeans.)

We took our strawberries home and washed them. Some were used to make strawberry bread (great stuff!) and a frozen strawberry dessert (yummy!). Some were left out to eat, but most were frozen to be used another day.
