Post-2nd-Weekend of 2013 Picking Season
We have tallied about 4500 lbs of berries have left the fields in buckets. Not sure of the amount that have left in gullets. There were a lot of pickers here yesterday and it shows. Ripe berries are everywhere but, unfortunately, sparse in among unripe--similar to last weekend after the opening day onslaught. Some (rosy outlook types) are satisfied with the available ripe crop, others (normal pickers and naysayers) are disappointed. It is about as hot and humid as it can be out there right now, so if you are reading this, I would grab a cold one and lay low. I would also hold off visiting again until after mid week.
