Holidays are times when you forage for yourselves... so we went picking strawberries, we even ventured to pick the raspberries at the bottom of the lines of strawberries, somewhat disappointed at the meagre handful returns for the endeavours [various viscous stinging nettle strikes - I'm sure they didn't sting that much when I was a child!!] on paying we were advised that the rasps wouldn't be ready for a while... that explains it then. Strawberry picking isn't the same as when we were children, the strawberry plants were all in poly tunnels in wide guttering elevated about 3 feet off the ground with their own watering system, not scrabbling around on the ground. I suppose it stops losses due to animals pinching them and saves the backs of the pickers
