It's a 4 wheeled version, Marseydoats; but I can be kind of a klutz sometimes, so - assuming I remember by the time they bear
- I'll give it a try and see if I can manage not to fall of it
Honestly, I'll probably just bend from the hips to pick like I used to - luckily I'm built close to the ground already
I may need to keep a walking stick handy to help me stand up straight just in case though. A thousand plants is a small plot to me - we started out with an acre of U-Pick, then somehow eventually ended up with 3 acres of the darn things. Working full time 12 hour nights, 3 acres was just too much for me to deal with until Pop retired. And then there was the day that he fired my whole picking crew... I'd probably be smarter to start with 500 plants - let's see if I end up being that smart
I have over a year to get ready as we usually didn't let the plants bear the first year - would just let a few plants do so for fresh eating.
We had a good heavy frost on the ground when I woke up this morning; and it still hasn't melted off - sun is up but the temp is 26* so it may take a bit for it to melt off. So far, I haven't done much of anything useful other than doing some laundry and feeding the cats. I do have a couple of things on my list - carrying some things down to the store room that have somehow migrated upstairs, and running a couple of loads of the grandkid's outgrown clothes through the wash and bagging them up to donate. I may go down basement and empty and clean the small upright freezer - that should be enough work for one day. Doing that would also give me the opportunity to update my inventory lists - a lot of things like that went by the wayside over the past few months while I was dealing with all the stuff that was going on at work.
Well, Hubby has been pacing back and forth behind me - I think he wants to use the laptop to check on some items he has listed for sale on Marketplace, so I'd better let him have it.
Take care all; stay safe out there!
