Yesterday morning I took the boys and their cousin to go blueberry picking at
Honey Pot Hill.
A nice family run farm here in Stow.
It is something we like to do at least once each summer.
Picking your own blueberries is fun and the kids enjoy handpicked berries
so much more
than the ones we buy from the grocery store.

Here they are, the boys, on their way to the blueberry fields.
Each ready to fill their own pint size basket.
 |  |
We passed by row 7 and 8 to sample the sweetest berries
(according to the sign by the entrance).
Then settled to pick from row 1 and 2 that had the most ripe berries.
 |  |
The grayish coating protects the berry and is called bloom.
 |  |
The patience to pick blueberries on a hot muggy summer morning for little boys
lasted just long enough to fill our baskets.

For lunch there was pepperoni pizza and blueberry smoothies.
Yum!
Mmmmmmm, så mycket blåbärsgott. Härligt!

Yum! Aren't they gorgeous and so good for you too! I have one bluberry bush in a pot. He almost died last year but there's some new growth this year so it looks like he'll be ok. It's hard getting to the bluberries before the birds do though :)
ReplyDeleteSååå härligt att få åka och plocka sina egan blåbär. HAr aldrig hört att vi kan göra det här hemma.
ReplyDeleteHa de
Kram Anna
Kan tänka mig att när inte allemansrätten finns, får man ta sig till självplockning...går ju lika bra. Och att avsmakning ingår är också toppen :)
ReplyDeleteSer att du också haft "problem" med att fåglarna smakar av din trädgård. Fast måste säga att din gäst var bra mycket sötare än de där svart/vita som var i min.
Ha en härlig dag!

Det ser verkligen himla gott ut... speciellt sista bilden!!! Tack för att du inte visar pizzan.
ReplyDeleteKram
Ooh, those smoothies look great. What berries!
ReplyDeleteMm, ser gott ut!
ReplyDeleteTydligen saknas det blåbärsodlingar i Sverige, den fria plockningen räcker inte till, så vi har funderat på att starta egen odling på våra två små hektar mark.
-Har man inte hästar längre får man fundera över annat...
Vi får se. Det såg i alla fall ut som om dina killar njöt av dagen, det är bra!
Kram, Anneli
Jag smaskade oxå på blåbärssmoothie idag;) Kram Johanna
ReplyDeleteUnderbara blåbär....så himla gott. Önskar dig fina dagar kram Maria
ReplyDeletePicking blueberries! YUm! I love picking berries! We don't have any blueberry u-picks near where I live, so I had to buy them at the grocery store. I put 10 lbs. in the freezer for muffins and pancakes and smoothies! Angie xo
