It was #foraging time in the #forest this morning. We’re now well stocked with roasted #chestnuts , prepped and frozen ready for Christmas eating. There’s plenty to be had this year if you’re inclined to go gathering.

A close up of 2 sloes on a blackthorn, they are black and round berries with a blueish bloom which is partially rubbed off.
Sloes in abundance this autumn..
Gin and sloe olives on the cards to make this week 🙌

A bumper crop of hazelnuts this year. Get gathering before the squirrels!

Ripe blackberries in a translucent, round plastic bowl with a glimpse of the bushes in the background.
And why would you not go and pick some blackberries? At the supermarket they are £20/kg, these were free and didn't have the added chemical sprays or the plastic packaging.

#wildplums these are just a handful of the windfalls from a prolific wild yellow plum tree at plot. Never known what type 🤷♀️

It's coming! 💚💚💚 #spring I look after what we call a "dispersed community orchard" in my local town, just fruit trees we've planted & maintain on road verges and scraps of council owned land so everyone can help themselves to free #fruit. They're all bursting with fat buds of promise 😍 #foodforfree
Morning sun through the translucent light green fresh leaves and buds of hawthorn.
#signsofspring but also... signs of breakfast! 😋😋

This foxy book has become more and more foxed over the decades it's lived with me, and smells as earthy as its contents. Wonderful! 🍄🟫🌱🌼 #RichardMabey #FoodforFree
A daily thread scrolling through my iPhone and posting a random image…
#15 - Sept. 2022. One of three baskets of black grapes picked from the vines on the front of the house. Probably won’t pick this year’s crop for another week since the summer hasn’t been as sunny.

A kilo of picked blackberries in a wooden trug.
Fruits of the first forage of the season. I don’t think we will match @jessamycarlson’s haul, but there are enough for a few crumbles there.

It's that time of year again! Ripening blackberries at Rock Edge NNR in #Headington. With a bit of luck, all the recent rain will have plumped them up a bit!

Ripening Guelder Gose & Sloes in a species-rich hedge N of #WestonColville. Stiff wind helpfully blows the chaff from an ear of wheat rolled between palms for an illicit snacket. Wayside apples still tongue dryingly tart. 1st blackberry of the autumn tastier #Foodforfree #MyWalk
