Peach picking!


Two weeks ago our family went peach picking at a farm about an 1hour away. When picking peaches you look for one that are not soft, but hard and yellow. If a peach does not have any red on it does not make it bad, the red is how much sun it recieved! It was very fun but really hot! The next thing to come in season are apples and figs. We will picking those the last week in July. Our Mom froze a lot of peaches with the leftover ones we cut them up and ate them fresh! With apples we will be making applesauce and will be dehydrating the figs for later use. Have you ever been peach or apple picking before?
