Wild Food.


Although we may well get the 'June drop' - every where I look the fruit trees are laden. I've also mapped where I saw blossom earlier in the year too. I have walks...........don't mind if I don't disclose do you? and I know where the Damson trees are heavily laden with young fruit. My apple tree and Victoria plum tree are equally laden. I've noticed the Hazel trees are covered in tiny nuts. Raspberries seems to have gone wild here too and pop out of hedges where there are blackberries and Sloes. I love Sloe gin, raspberry jam, damson wine and damson jelly and keeping hazel nuts to sit and crack and nibble on right through the winter. This might be a bumper year.
