Bramble Blossom Colour?

Some people are very friendy, wish we had friendly people around here

 

Or ... moved to where us friendly people are

 

In the 90s, when management speak first exploded into the work scene, I always had to stifle a laugh when they'd say (after a bit of blue sky thinking) that we should pick the low hanging fruit.
Not country lads then, obviously! Always LEAVE the low hanging fruit!!

 

Don't use a carrier bag, it will get torn by thorns, the berries will squash and dogs will get their snout in it and eat them whilst your back's turned. Use a small bucket hanging round your neck on rope so you have both hands free and pick twice as fast.

Take a left hand gardening glove and a walking stick for pulling out of reach fruit down and hanging onto it. One of those folding walking sticks with a hook fixed on the end is useful for getting all sorts of wild fruit within reach.

I also use a small sheet of hardboard to place against the bushes so I can lean on it and get further in where the best berries are.

Take a rucksack to leave hands free.

Picked over 300lbs last year.

 

Good idea, but at the mow the unfriendly one has gone, so slowly things are getting better, the person can now eat the backberries they picked with out any problems now

 

How's this for a colourful one?

 

Haven't got one that deep a colour (yet!) @Scrungee I'll keep my eyes peeled

 

Easy........ Get someone else to pick them while you stand back and supervise..... You know, "left a bit, right a bit, pick"

 

Great idea!



So, Anthony ... left a bit .... right a bit ....

 

Ere, ,
'ang on a minute...

It was my idea so I'm office staff, not manual labour

 

Ok, but, as this is *my* thread AND you have appointed me Project Manager ...

.... get off your chair, get outside and ...

... left a bit .... right a bit and don't forget to inventory them as you pick Mr Office Bod ...

 

No, I'm on strike and I'm gonna sit here and have a tantrum

 

Oh dear You're one of *those* are you?

No bramble pie and cream for you then
