You need to be careful foraging in them there bushes. If you see any big white berry’s don’t pick them

On the farms nearby I can find plums and pears aswell as blackberries.

Always easier to pilfer from horseback, as I get more reach!

Lots of mushrooms locally too, but am super careful which ones I actually eat.

I'd love to do a proper foraging course so I knew which mushrooms were ok to eat

Love it, there’s wild raspberries near me, there’s a few less each time I walk past, they taste great.

I’ve noticed the blackberries being early.

I've stopped picking blackberries round here because they have too many pips in them. My mum used to pick crab apples when we were young.

You can sieve them once you've cooked them.

We picked some crab apples last year.

And I've picked sloes down your way, wow they are bitter if you eat them raw

Made great slide gin tho

Loads of blackberries around me in the fields, but not ripe yet. Will be picking when ripe, as a lovely neighbour will turn them into lovely jam for me

Slide gin = the gin before the one that puts you out for the count.

"It just slid in there. After that i dont remember what happened"

I have a fern growing wild in my garden called sweet cicely. It grows big and wild in the hedgerows. It is liquorice flavour and every part of it can be eaten.

Google it and look out for it in hedgerows near you, then just pick bits off and chew them or check out the many recipes online for it.

Can also be used for turning gin into pernod I believe.

Does anyone know of any decent blackberry spots in Lancashire? We got hundreds on a riverside wak in Port Sunlight a few years ago, I made a few blackperry crumbles with them, the ultimate comfort food *drools* I fancy a good day out picking fruit.

Try the old tram route through to Preston, sure we picked some there the other year.

I don't think I know where the old tram route is? I clearly don't know Preston as well as I thought. We usually go along the canal to Haslam park from the entrance at Water Lane but the last few times some teenagers started harrasing me and my daughter and another time they were throwing rocks at ducks, we ended up running home

I use to do a lot of mushroom picking and blueberry, raspberry, wild strawberries and teas but it was 8 years ago when I lived in Latvia. Missing it but that again I remember being scared of snakes or ticks and now we even have quite a lot of boars, bears and wolfs, so it’s scarrier than usual.

However going for holiday next week and definitely going to have some wild mushrooms and home grown paradoxes with tomatoes etc Yum!

Spring time out foraging for all the good stuff. The butterber flower buds and the young leaves, cooked tempura style, the rolled up balls of the ferns in salads, of course the young bracken. The young shoots of Japanese knot, come the summer the butterber stems and the field mushrooms, then in the autumn various nuts. And I haven't started on the shoreline

I know where you mean, used to walk round there myself. Bloody yobbos. I'll send you directions for the old tram route.
