The Cherry Orchard Outing

This morning, we went to Cherry Haven to pick our own cherry. We went to a different cherry orchard last year with mum and dad, we enjoyed the outing, so this year we decided to have one cherry picking outing with Yong Shuan. This morning, most of the cherries are picked by Shao Wen. This orchard charged a small fees of $3/person and $10/kg for the cherries we picked.




We have picked 1.8 kg of cherries which normally sell at $10 - $ 12/kg in the market.



The magnificent scenery from the "Cherry Haven".



Cherry Trees.



Before we start picking cherry, I fed YS and daddy helped to burp him.



Read the instructions on how to pick the cherry.
We must not pluck the cherry bud as the broken bud will not grow any more cherry.




Thanks to YS, mummy did not get her fingers dirty at all. :D



A branch full of cherries.



This is just one of the way to pick cherry. This orchard had provided us the ladder.

Not forget to mention we went there with our friends, Yoke Yee and her hubby.
