2020, the best year to go foraging?
« on: 13:36:59, 30/03/20 »
I have run in a lot of local places until recently and know along my routes where the best blackberries, cherries, plums, etc are. Where I grew up in Kent, the same thing, especially that secret row of Damson trees near to where we used to live and of course loads of apples and pears. I nearly forgot to mention the cob nut trees, walnuts, and other nuts which I discovered when on school holidays or when I was playing truant. I'm sure they are still there and just waiting for a loving human to pick them.

I also wonder if there will be a 2020 surge in homemade beer and winemaking again?

Oh no are things going to get that bad?  When I was a kid we had a massive pear tree in the garden and my dad used to make pear wine - even at the age of 16 with no limit to what I would drink, the pear wine still tasted rank.

Why not start with nettle soup, now is the time of year to pick them.

Grabbed a good handful of wild garlic leaves whilst walking in Eggerslack Woods this morning.
