Hi Amelia! Thanks for leaving a note. Don’t worry, we were not picking on somebody’s backyard, on trees that were kept or owned by anyone. These trees grow wild on the edge of the woods nearby. Think of it as some kind of foraging. They were on public property, and the community is cool with it.

But it is not YOUR fruit!! It would be cool to take your children to pick your own fruit, or that of which you have permission to do so. Do not think it is okay to steal other people’s fruit. Do you pay property tax on the land those trees are on??? If not, perhaps you should not be so bold as to pick and brag about your expeditions. As an owner of four beautiful and fruitful trees, I have to say that this is offensive. If you asked to pick some, I might agree to it. I often leave baskets of fruit I harvest and do not eat/can at the roadside for neighbors.

I think it is so cool to be able to pick your own fruit and eat it. I wish my children could experience something like that.

[...] I wonder if Ruth at Eating Fabulous saw any butterfiles when her family went autumn fruit picking in Germany! Also some beautiful lush pictures in this post. [...]
