    I picked 1lb from the allotment on Friday they are in perfect condition at the moment and sweeter than they were this time last year.

    My goodness! I think I've put 2 stones on just reading that Scroggin! Yum yum! I'll be having a go at that! 

    Are you a bit further south than nottinghamshire Barry?

    I chucked mine in the brewing bucket last year and no doubt will be doing the same again this year, as well as sharing some with my chooks and freezing some for use throughout the year image

    Tootles I'm in Northampton, at the top of my allotment plot there is a thick area of brambles which stande 8 foot tall I have cut it back but left the sides so I have about 40 or 50 foot total area of brambles to pick from.

  • Masses here.   I don't have them in the garden but they're all over the farm.  

    I like blackberry sorbet and they're also very nice put in scones.

    Another few weeks for fruits here. Hedgerows are abundant with them and it was lovely walking recently and seeing them all in flower in the glens. My girls used to enjoy picking them locally when they were little - always above 'dog leg height' of course....image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
