Quick update about blueberry picking yesterday.
Matt, Jonathan and I went to some place nearby. We picked around 5.5 lbs each and it was fuuun.
Some tips for berry picking:
1. Wear a hat and sunglasses! It may get pretty hot.
2. Take plenty of water to drink.
3. Take a bucket/bag to put all your berries in, to take home
4. Wear clothes you dont mind dirtying. It won't get very dirty but you never know! When I was picking I had to squeeze myself between bushes to get to some big berries. So occasionally my T shirt would get caught on branches.
5. Wear closed-toed shoes! Sometimes there are spiders and bugs on the plants. You want to concentrate on picking rather than a pesky spider climbing on your toesies.
6. Take small change - dollar bills, five dollar bills, ten dollar bills. Noone at a blueberry farm is going to have change for a $50 or $100 note.
7. Take your camera :-) You don't want to miss capturing these moments on film :-) !
8. If you're a girl it's better to tie your hair up in a ponytail. I left mine loose and it keep getting caught on branches :-O !! Not a pleasant feeling to extract yourself from a big blueberry bush.
