I’m back at home with my Mum for the weekend. Check out her lavender, and those beeeeees…
Also! Among all the awesome fruit & vegetables in her garden, she’s managed to get some chili and bell peppers to grow! #impressed
If you’ve read my first ever post, explaining why I started Boudicca, you’ll be familiar with Grays Pick Your Own Farm. If not, check out the backstory for Boudicca.
Today, we went back, this time for raspberries.
It’s the very start of peak season for these beauties, and my goodness, they’re the best crop I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely amazing!
If you haven’t been to a PYO before, I can’t recommend it enough. Grays is a wonderful, award-winning farm based on Heathlands Road in Wokingham, and if you’re in the area, is a great place to start.
If you’re not, this website is a little late-90s, but it’s the most comprehensive list of PYO farms online, sorted by region.
You can’t get better than freshly picked fruit from the bush, and it’s a truly lovely day out for everyone.
Alongside the raspberries, we picked up some amazing carrots, blackcurrants and courgettes as they’re at their best right now, but you can see the crop calendar below for peak picking over the summer months.
