Here are a few additions to our list of tools and equipment, ha. Can you guess them?
These are berry gathering tools. You just hold it by the handle and run it through the berry vines/bushes and it gently pulls off the fruit. With the prolific nature of our dewberry vines here at the farm, I felt like we needed a couple so we can gather dewberries this Spring.
Yes 2nd Man, you will be out there with me gathering dewberries!
These are the other items we got.
Do you know what they are?
They are orchard gathering tools for getting pears, apples, peaches, etc down off of the higher branches! You put a rod/pole in one end (it comes with a clamp to screw it down) so you can make it as long as you need according to your tree height. Then you put the open end around the fruit and just use it to pull them off (the pointed ends help maneuver through he leaves and smaller branches) and then the fruit can roll into the other end so it doesn't fall out. They came in a set of four so I figured if we break one, we'll have a backup.
I used one of the crates I found downstairs back at the apartment in a "trash to treasure" find, put them in there and stored them away in the mower shed. They are ready for this Spring now that we are out here and whatever nature wants to bring us.
