    Hello it used to be strolling through the orchards through now its strolling through the vinyards and the under cover strawberies no back braking picking anymore but as I was reminded once before its a lot better than new build houses :smile:

      Coincidence, but I listened to "On Your Farm" Radio 4 this morning and it was from Hugh Lowe Farms in Kent who grow among other things strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. All in polytunnels or under glass. All the strawberries are grown at table top height for ease of picking and they aim to harvest 250 tonnes of strawberries a week.
