Strawberry Patch

Do you want to go strawberry picking? Well if you do than either grow your own strawberries or go to a strawberry patch. A strawberry patch will normally cost $6 per person or they might charge you around $3 per pound.

Strawberries grow on small vines.Sometimes the strawberries are hiding in the vines so you have to pull back the vine but not too hard.

You should always put your strawberries in your bucket not your tummy, but you might want to try one or two. You can use any type of bucket or basket to hold your berries.  If it’s hot and sunny you should wear a hat and sunscreen.

Make sure you only pick the strawberries that are bright red. If the strawberries are green then don’t pick them because they’re not ripe. If you’re eating a strawberry don’t eat the stem. The stems on the strawberries are always green.

When get home and want to taste your harvest, remember to only cut off the top green stem section.   Also, did you know it’s okay to eat the seeds on the strawberries?

Lastly, sometimes at strawberry patches they sell strawberry jam, so you might want to bring a few extra dollars  to buy some goodies.
