I do this in the spring - but with fiddleheads and brookies

My Memere' used to cook up the best fiddleheads. This was a great vegetable in northern Maine other than potatoes and wild berry picking in the summer.

I remember my Memere would cook up swiss chard and all the kids
would accuse her of picking leaves in the yard and feeding them
to us.... miss her.

yep

We kids used to get out of school in the fall 2-3 weeks to pick potatoes.

We loved it. We got to work alongside the grownups as equals, we learned hard work - but loved it. It was in the sunshine and out of school - and we got jingle money in our pockets...the amount directly commensurate with how many potatoes we picked. Good growing up lesson.
