Fruit Picking - Edinburgh/Midlothian

angelflower_2

Looking for a fruit picking place in Edinburgh/Midlothian where we can get strawberries, rasberries and blackberries - maybe even some veg as we lost all ours due to flooding in the veggie patch.

Can anyone help advise the best ones?

I would give Lowes a miss, we went there a few weeks ago and they had very little. The girl pre warned us before we went in. Pity as loads of cars arriving but leaving soon after. The girl in the store said that they may not open for pick your own next year as have so little this year.

thanks for this info.

Next year is another year though..., it all depends of the weather etc. - so there might be profusion of good things to pick :j Fingers crossed.

my dad last year had kilos and kilos of courgettes - my mum was putting some in every dish - and had the freezer full of them - giving away to anyone they could ..... and this year, very bad

2003 tropical summer, 2006 tropical summer, ....so my theory is that 2009 will be gorgeous

(by tropical summer I mean 27 degrees in Scotland )

OHHHHHH I do hope you're right.... after the depression of having no summer last year I couldn't wait until June this year .... then this! I've gone below the scale now!!! Scuse me while I reach for the Prozac!
