Strawberry Picking at Gizdich Ranch

We made a (what's becoming annual) trip down to Watsonville for some down and dirty strawberry picking.  This year we went on opening day, and I'm so glad we did.  The strawberries were some of the biggest ones I've ever seen, and they were as sweet as candy.  We went with the Alonso and Lee families, which always makes outings more fun.  The trip could not have worked out better - no traffic, a picnic lunch and lots of pie (with plenty more pies purchased for home consumption), no tears, and no strawberry plant causalities while picking.  Fruit picking truly at its finest.
