Do you every pick your own fruit? (organic, avocado, tomatoes)

At lunch time, I passed a Pick Your Own Strawberry Field & for $5 I picked a quart of strawberries.

In the Fall, the kids & I will pick apples, peaches, plums, pumpkins...at an East End Farm..

What do you guys pick in your local area?

I just picked apricots from the tree in my backyard. The scent and flavor of the ones that ripen on the tree are nothing like the ones purchased in the store. Mine are without a doubt organic and pesticide free.

Strawberries and blackberries, mostly. Grapes if I'm at my mom's during grape season. She's surrounded by Concord grape vineyards.

Pick my own tomatoes from my own backyard, too.

When I was a kid, there was a forest up the street from where we lived and we used to go up there with buckets and pick berries. My mom would always give me a hard time though because I would eat more than I'd put in the bucket. I live in the city now though, no more berry picking.

Picked my on lemons from trees I grew last year. The cold nearly killed them last winter.

I grew up picking berries, apples, peaches, figs, muscadines... Doing so instilled great work ethics in me. We'd pick fruit and sale some of it. The rest was for us to enjoy or were made into some kind of pie, cake, or another dessert. So we got paid many times over for our work.

But I haven't picked any in a great while. I think the last fruit I picked was a pomegranate. An empty rental next door to me had a pomegranate tree and the very young owner didn't care if we enjoyed them.

Limes, Meyer lemons, Valencias, Bloods, Mandarins, Washington navels, Santa Rosa plums, turkey figs, peaches, Concord grapes, and avocados.

We lived in the sticks when I was a kid and there were berries growing along the wire fences all over the place. We used to pick them and eat them. I guess they weren't poisonous cause we lived to tell.

Living in NY, I think it would be so cool to pick your own lemons.

I bought online from Springhill this Spring, a Meyer lemon tree & a banana tree. They are in little pots & I'll have to bring them inside in the Fall...
