Picking Strawberries

Picking Strawberries Have you ever tasted strawberries picked fresh from the plant?Yesterday, I did exactly that. It was early in the morning. We were fully equipped with thick socks and waterproof sneakers. We were each given a bucket to put the strawberries in. l always thought strawberries grew on trees. But that morning, I saw rows and rows of small bushes. There were no strawberry trees at all! Crouching, the farmer brushed the leaves of the bush aside to reveal three huge strawberries. “ Pick the ones that are completely red and leave the pink and greens ones to grow, " the farmer said. " Here is one. Try it. ”

l ate the big, red strawberry. Mmmm. . it was so good! In fact, no strawberries we bought from the store could compare. They wouldn't taste this good even if they were covered in sugar! That day, I picked two full buckets of strawberries and l ate many more. It was a very fun day. I learned a good lesson: strawberries do not grow on trees.
