Loads of berries this year

TheCatWoman

I've had loads of raspberries in the garden with more on the way, and blackberries, the hedgerows are laden with fruit and I've never seen so many sloes before. I've just started the blackberry and apple jam off.

Isn't a good berry autumn supposed to mean a harsh winter? Maybe i'll get my wish fulfilled for snow?

  • This is so true!!

    In the area where I run and walk there are lots of blackberries

    I ate quite a few yesterday, they are small but so sweet. I'm going back today with a bag to collect some.

    I did eat something from a bush, a few weeks ago, that looked like a small plum. It did have a stone in it and that also was sweet. I wasn't sure what is was at the time, so I only ate one. But after a quick Google, I think it may have been a sloe. So thank you. I can now identify a sloe.

    I love snow too. I love the stillness.

    Theres a line I've got in my head that I've read somewhere, something like

    When it snows the world gets quiet. 

    I love to be the first one to walk/run through untouched snow.
