My father had a large vegetable garden when I was a child so I did quite a bit of harvesting. This lasted for a few years until he got tired of it. Picking your own fruits/vegetables is not uncommon around here. We have a pecan tree and muscadine vines in the back, we know where to find blackberries to pick, friends have orchards of persimmons and pears, and you can pick strawberries and blueberries near here. So, I've done a little bit of all of it. Some summers I still grow tomatoes. I have a friend who grows cotton, and trying to pick cotton by hand is an experience.
