The Asparagus Harvesting Experience

Language: Japanese or English

The Strawberry Harvesting Experience

Language: Japanese or English

Considerations:

Strawberry picking can be time consuming, depending on how quickly you can pick strawberries and how many you are planning on harvesting. On average, it takes between ten and fifteen minutes to find and pick a quart of ripe, ready-to-eat strawberries. This means it can take up to an hour to pick a gallon. But of course, with quick hands, it can take less time.
