Have you ever worked as a harvester before?
ReplyDeleteNope, never. I know it's hard work but I think I'll be alright :)
ReplyDeleteCool. I wanted to try harvesting fruits after reading books about migrant farmers. When I was younger I wanted to own my fruit and vegetable farm. The initial planting and final harvesting were my favorite parts of the experience. The middle steps-- cultivating, watering, weeding, and dealing with bugs-- not so much. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea to actually learn about fruit picking now that I think of it. I have no idea what is involved in this job. Gonna look it up now. :)
ReplyDeleteThen do it now, just start a mini farm in your garden!
