A couple of weeks ago, we realised that neither of us have ever gone strawberry picking! We soon corrected that with a trip to Garsons in Esher. Garsons is a garden centre that also has a 'Pick Your Own' farm, with over 150 acres of land, where you can pick anything from berries, to carrots and even sunflowers!
We started off by heading over to the strawberry fields. After learning how to pick the proper way, we made a start on collecting a punnet full of lovely strawberries. It was so nice to see all the strawberries of all different sizes and shapes - quite different to the uniform ones you see in the supermarket! While we were there, we decided to also go and pick some raspberries and blackcurrants. We were expecting the stash that we'd picked to cost quite a bit but we were very impressed with how reasonable it was - we actually spent just over £5!
We froze half our strawberries, along with the raspberries and blackcurrants to make some smoothies with, and used the other half to make our strawberry and apple crumbles!
