Things to remember before heading out to pick strawberries:
● Sun Protection: Since this is an outdoor activity it is highly recommended to carry a good quality sunblock with higher SPF, sunglasses, a hat, and umbrellas based on your preference.
● Comfy Clothes: This is an activity involving a lot of physical movement, so make sure to wear comfortable clothes. Long sleeves are recommended to avoid possible irritation caused by the leaves and comfortable footwear.
● Baskets: Strawberry due to its physical features is vulnerable to physical damage. Stacking them up for more than a few inches damages the ones underneath. Choose the right container to carry the berries back home if you intend on plucking a lot of them.
● Pick the right berries: There are several species of strawberries. Each with its unique qualities. Make sure to try them all before picking them.
