I'm a simple emigrant and I love berries

Somehow I wrote about my experience picking strawberries, this year I skipped the season of this berry, but I did manage to harvest blueberries. It happened that I picked them in the Netherlands, but there are plenty of places in Germany too where you can do this. To find such a field, Google 'Heidelbeeren selber pflücken', which translates as 'self-picking blueberries', and get a list of places with addresses and websites, if available. The blueberry season will last for only another couple of weeks: theoretically until the end of August, but in practice, in the last week, most likely there won’t be anything left. We stayed in the field a little over two hours, during that time the two of us picked 8 kg, and ate at least another 500 g. As usual, what you eat there is free. Everything else costs 4 euros per kilogram. This is a good price, because in a supermarket for that price you can buy only half a kilo and even then without any guarantee that the berries will be tasty and without a bunch of spoiled ones. And we picked the prettiest, tastiest, and largest berries! After almost a week of constant eating plus giving berries to friends, we still have about three kilograms left. Moreover, the blueberries are as fresh as on the first day and practically no mold: perhaps one spoiled berry per kilogram. All in all, I’m enjoying it and I recommend it to you. You should take advantage of the season while you can eat a healthy snack guilt-free while watching a TV show in the evening. Did you harvest anything this year? #useful
