Free fruit

[Marc68]

Here's an incentive to get out and walk. Loads of blackberries around at the moment, which are a very healthy fruit. Only pick the fat, soft, sweet ones and if you're in urban areas don't eat the low hanging fruit straight off the bush as you never know what/who has cocked it's leg over it!

One would hope one would wash them first (don't I sound posh!) when I went for my walk on Monday I saw a woman with her 2 children picking blackberries, I bet they made a lovely tart. That is why I allow the brambles to grow in my garden for the berries (not because I am a lazy so and so )

It's sometimes tricky to not eat them while you're picking them though... and I'll believe you when you say they're the reason why you let the brambles grow Heather. lol. If I had brambles in my garden I'd use the same excuse, sorry, reason.

Cooked trout with blackberries as an experiment last night... pretty good.

That sounds good. I put them with apples out of the garden and make crumbles or sometimes pies.
