I didn't
have time to pick them, so I made up a sign saying "FREE, pick your own

them. Just in case, we hung the sign anyway and we hung it where it could
not be missed. The director was right. Nobody came. The berries ripened
and fell on the ground with no one to pick them.


Wow.

In the Bay Area here, there's an organization that has volunteers that pick fruit for delivery to the poor, disabled, etc.

Unless the fruit doesn't taste good, seeing fruit rotting on the ground is a sad sad sight.
