One of my tips on
finding cheap fruits and vegetables this summer was to
pick your own. Shmoo and I put that into practice this morning, picking peaches and nectarines at a local U-Pick farm for
60 cents a pound. Not a bad price, especially when you consider that U-Pick combines buying fruit with an hour of enjoying a shady stroll in the orchard and watching kids having fun. Shmoo was a most enthusiastic picker, determined to search tree to tree to find me the biggest, heaviest, prettiest peaches.
Here is my car trunk filled with fresh fruit, at a total cost of
$22.00. We plan to gobble up the nectarines, then I'll be peeling and slicing the peaches and freezing them in a single layer on baking sheets. When they're frozen I'll put them in a
smoothie bin and enjoy peach-blueberries smoothies all autumn long.
