We went blueberry-picking today, and, delicious though they be, I must admit that I cannot stomach any more blueberries today. Pick-it-yourself farms are a spectacular alternative to buying them in a supermarket. The fruit you get there is not only much fresher and less expensive, but the picking is a rewarding experience in itself. It's also a great way to support local businesses.
Today ended with quite a good haul- I expect the next few days will be spent washing and freezing blueberries. Some fruits, especially berries, keep very well when frozen (fortunate, when buying produce in bulk), and can even be eaten straight out of the freezer.I ended up with a number of decent photos today as well. If anyone's interested, they might be appearing on my devArt in the near future.

ReplyDeleteYum, fresh blueberries. I used to grow two bushes on my front deck in a wine barrel planter. I loved coming out and picking them by the handful in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI picked wild blackberries earlier this evening -- a nice large bucket full. They're my favorite berries as they remind me of my childhood summers.
