Summer Series: Strawberries

This is something I've always wanted to do and when my mom's group planned to go Strawberry picking at Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville, I signed up immediately for the fun activity.
The location is great (a bit far) but really worth the drive. Mr. strawberry squisher loved looking for the biggest and most plump strawberries, just to squeeze them so hard trying to picking them to make a jolly old mess of himself.. We came home with a couple pounds of badly bruised half eaten strawberries, dust and dirt up to our ears, extremely filfhy clothing, and a truckload of fun memories to cherish.
Here's some photographic evidence of our fun visit.

The Farm has a little shop with lots of goodies, fresh baked pies, yummy sandwiches and a small picnic area with a hay tower, and old truck and even a sandbox for the kiddies.. this was lots of fun!

Grow little Apple.. Grow.. we'll come pick you in September.
