Whilst picking blackberries thinking about other goodies to forage bumbler blackberry crop in Derbyshire this year but the wild damsons are pitiful maybe the frost had the blossom

Always look out when out with the dogs, loads of apple trees and Sloe bushes ready to go. Bring on the gin.

I was in Dorset today just outside Dorchester parked up in a lay-by and out to stretch my legs and noticed some Hazel bushes and they were crammed with Hazel nuts and walked along the field margin a bit and found loads more and crammed with nuts, but they are not yet ready for picking but give another four weeks and I will be back. So keep your eyes peeled.

I am eyeing up the pears which are hanging over the wall of the Vicarage, I helped myself to some apples last week. I may wait until Sunday for the pears when the Vicar is elsewhere

My father in law once found some lads scrumping his apples he didn't do anything too nasty to them just made them eat all the (slightly underipe ) apples before they left.!

Lots of bilberries (blueberries?) ready for collection here in Sweden, already picked some and eaten with natural yoghurt and a squirt of honey. Will look out for what's available in Norway.

@Jenben seems early for apples and pears, where's the year going?

@jumartoo , it is a bit early for cooking apples, I 'helped' them off his trees by whacking them with a big stick .

Just lately we've had some lovely looking mushrooms in our lawn, some the size of tennis balls, they end up in the compost bin.

If only I new what was safe to eat (or not), they looked like they'd make a nice meal.

 

[StanandShirley]

Picked two buckets of blackberries yesterday, first crumble of the year and the start of freezing supplies for weeks to come. Picking more on Friday as there are loads ready. Damsons next week and the sloes are looking good too hic!

I'm on a mission to find Cloud Berries here in Norway but they're much sought after and guarded!!! Not literally, I hope. Might have to make do with blueberries/bilberries.

 

[timetochill]

Never heard of cloud berries but only been on cruise to Norway had a great time

Got up nice and early this morning to go foraging and almost immediately found a whole pack of bacon just lurking in the meat drawer of the fridge then out the corner of my eye I spotted what looked like a loaf of bread in the larder. On closer inspection my find was confirmed, it was a fresh loaf of uncut bread.
Within 5 minutes I'd whipped up a lovely tasty bacon sandwich
I Love Foraging

The other week, in Yorkshire, we were out walking and eating bilberries.
Now it's Blackberries and Damsons in Bedfordshire!
Next will be the Sloes for the gin!
We were given some Bilberry Vodka, least I think it was Vodka......hic!

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

There was plenty samphire on the beach yesterday , but I never picked any this year !

I've got a few raspberries so far today. Rain's stopped play. Cloudberries, apparently look like orangey yellow raspberries. I've not seen one yet.

 

[jumartoo]

Yesterday raspberries and wild strawberries. Today raspberries and a few bilberries. Soon to be eaten with some natural yoghurt and honey.

 

[Mikeco]

Plums from Jim's back garden as we left this afternoon, think he spotted me though as he let the dog loose on me.

Cloud berries are highly prized and very expensive to buy. Traditional picked in Norway by east Europeans as they grow in areas of high mosquito activity.
Have not done much foraging for food recently as most of my time whilst home was taken up foraging for wood for the woodburner.
