Picking produce

One of the things I've been wanting to do for some time is visit one of those pick-your-own produce farms here in the UK. We finally got round to it on our way back from Wales and it was definitely a fun experience. It was already the end of Sept so the crop selection was slightly more limited but there was still plenty for us.


This is us in the spinach patch. I was trying to teach Matty how to pick the younger leaves off at the stem and he was quite a quick learner. [Unlike Daddy who insisted on doing his own harvesting in another corner and half-filled the bag with jaw-exercising older leaves..]


And they had tons of very very yummy raspberries. These ones weren't sour like the ones in the supermarket, but were really fragrant and sweet. Absolutely delicious!


And as you can see, Matty agrees about the raspberries too! He happily scoffed about 10 in the first 3 minutes and was very pleased that there were quite a lot of fruits within his reach. He even started to tell me "We must pick the dark red ones because they are sweet". Hehe, this was after eating a pretty raw greenish one which he definitely didn't like..

I can hardly wait till next summer when all the fruits are in season!
