I never had to pick those but have picked strawberries. When I was growing up, we grew our own veggies, fruit, beef, pork and chickens. I remember complaining about working in the huge gardens but those veggies sure did taste good in the winter. I remember picking plums, peaches, pears, and apples. My mom made the best jelly and jams. She also made pear relish and plum butter. Wish I had some. People need to quit beingbsondog-gone sensitive. There is something I have found on Facebook is posts by city kids who worked just as hard as we did. Some worked in the many sweet potato farms near my hometown. We had a relative who grew them and we would buy from him. Oh. We had something growing wild in our gardens and when I told my daughter, she asked if we ate the fruit. What fruit, I wanted to know. What we knew as maypops was passion fruit. Never knew that. The blooms were very pretty.
