So, as usual I have come home for the weekend as The Mister is back from work. I had a little potter in the garden and I am amazed at how many apples we have on the tree and they are getting quite large now. Of course they are not ready to be picked yet but I am getting excited at the thought of all the pies and more so the crumbles that I am going to be able to make. I usually manage to pick plenty of wild growing blackberries to so they will be added too. I love cooking and using ingredients that are free is great. Do you go foraging ?

You are so lucky that you have apples growing and that you'll be able to pick them, make pies and those delicious crumbles. Unfortunately I don't have any apple trees on my property but we do have farms nearby where you can go apple picking. I haven't done it in a few years but it was fun to do with the grandkids.

There is nothing to forage here but that's great that you're able to pick your own apples and other fruit. I'd love an apple tree.

I used to go foraging but not anymore... Now, it's just fruits, berries and mushrooms I buy in the store.
