We are all currently on hedge patrol …………
……. noting all blackberry bushes and the occasional plum tree of a promising pickage type nature …….
….. as a source of totally free fruit, most excellent in burgeoning vitamin C.
Last year, in the midst of Covid meltdown we were a little lacklustre in our foraging and regretfully Darrell didn’t even get down and dirty to make a single one jar of his prize blackberry and plum compost compote………
Well, this year the blossom looks most promising and we are more in the mood …….. we just need to keep checking and be patient for a few weeks more, for hopefully, the bumper harvest to begin ………

Good luck, with all of your f̶o̶r̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ foraging. Darrell's jam sounds wonderful. Just the job on wholemeal bread, toasted or otherwise.
I’m sure this year will be a bumper crop, just need to be ahead of everyone else and ready to pick the fruit-good luck guys.
