Ive never went "Upicking" except through some fields to a black berry patch when I was younger. Those were wild and free and made the best cobblers. <br />I always wanted to go strawberry picking but now sure why I havent ever.<br /><br />How about a lemon tree?<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-43665986029860629112017-01-23T08:55:34.339-05:002017-01-23T08:55:34.339-05:00I'd be missing this you pick places too. How ...I'd be missing this you pick places too. How wonderful to be close by to so much fresh produce. Hope you can still get the fresh stuff, although I'm sure the price would be much higher when not picking your own. I got some tasty oranges in the store recently here and I'm sure they helped to clear up the cold I had. They may not have fresh from the tree, but they were delicious!

On our place, we do all the picking of the pumpkins and have them ready on hay wagons for the buyers. We do our stand on the ' honor system'-we price, purchasers pick out what they want and pay at a mailbox that's attached to one of the wagons. It works great so far. If we've broken any 'rules', we haven't been told. From what I've read, we're ok selling the way we do....so, come fall, come one, come all for pumpkins, squash, sunflowers, gourds. Thanks for the free advertising Jack. lol<br />love n' hugs from up north.......still warm out with snow, ice and mud on the ground.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-52187813920824780692017-01-22T13:03:01.522-05:002017-01-22T13:03:01.522-05:00Now you've gone and made me nostalgic!

Yay for you and Sherry planting one of your very own! (Never having done that I have to ask a silly question: Can you purchase and replant one that's already mature?)

We want to plant an orange tree here too. Oranges must ripen in the winter here because lots of trees are overloaded with their fruits as we drive by. I wonder how many go to waste because they aren't picked. I remember years ago my uncle and family were visiting. He spotted a mulberry tree that's fruit was ripe. He got permission from the owners to pick the fruit. Delicious pie that evening!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-32444749902497158732017-01-21T22:54:02.465-05:002017-01-21T22:54:02.465-05:00In connection with Paula's comment.

One time we drove toward the valley here to buy oranges. Half way down there we found a fruit stand on the side of the road. We bought a large bag of oranges and just stopped on the side of the road and ate until we couldn't any more. You just don't find those good ones in the store.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.com
