We got up early, had
a quick bite to eat and headed out to go pick strawberries. Armed with the
garmin and a sense of this is really what i want to do! Away we went. We went through the back streets of gopher canyon (through vista) to hit the U PICK STRAWBERRY stand on
paseo del norte and cannon!
Really none of us are big strawberry eaters but i have been told that this is quite the experience and i am always up for a new and fun experience. We got to the U PICK STRAWBERRY stand paid for our buckets and low and behold
wouldn't you know it derrick filled his fast! However i did not let this fly ... that boy was going to fill his bucket
with strawberries not his head! Armed with 2 buckets and $24 lighter in the pocket book we headed out into the field. I have to share the the aisles between the rows is not very big and derrick was having a heck of a time
maneuvering his big feet. Not sure why but i wore my
burks with sandals and quickly discovered the fine strawberry red
colored toes! UGH! The boys seemed to do well with picking. We talked before we walked down the aisle on what
to look for (as seen on a previous post) i knew that the strawberry
should not have green on the end! Can I tell you that this is back breaking work and i thank all the farmers that do this for a living. You might notice that we are all in jackets on this fine summer day ---
lol it sprinkled all the way to
carlsbad and was a tad chilly!
We spent about an hour out in the fields and came back
with 2 buckets full. I had BIG plans for all these strawberries! I will share that in another post!
All in All this was a great
experience I would love now to try to do some apple picking in oak glen!
