My family have been growing kiwis for years. Yesterday was picking day, so I went to give a hand at my dad's field. Every year's produce is sold to fruit traders, but we always keep some for ourselves and our friends.
Wanna see what a typical picking day looks like?
Check further down!
Fruit get into the buckets and then the buckets fill bigger, plastic craters.
Like these here:
Look at the workers, picking and making jokes, 'cause work seems easier with a good laugh...
And look at what I found on one of the trees!
An empty nest! The little ones had probably flown away!
What do the hard-working staff need? Some coffee and snacks break of course!
Break is over! Get back to work!
The tractor is waiting to pick up those fully loaded craters!
The day finishes with the trees empty...
And our craters full!
Hey! Hey! Did you think I'd leave you without the bug of the day?
