OT: Field Fare

Sep 04, 2006 0 Replies

Filled my scooter basket with wild mushrooms, bullaces and the bigger wild plums (like small Victorias) this morning when we took the dog out around the field near us. It`s a good year for wild goodies - and that is supposed to presage a hard winter!



Jane`s jam-making from the stuff she`s been finding and I was going to give the plums to her but John ate most of them on the way home! There should be a small orchard of small plums in a few years time! The hazelnuts are ready, too, which should mean that the Kentish Cobs should be available at our local farm shop at any minute. I love September. There should be wet walnuts about, too - so much nicer than the ones in the shops nearer Christmas.
