  • a good days foraging

    I went to my 'secret' damson tree to see how things were progressig during my lunch break today and whilst there I noticed in all the nettles and undergrown another tree of interest. i fought my way in and found that it was a plum tree, with hundreds of ripe plums (guess who making jam soon!) and a fig tree, which the birds have got too first.

    but even better than that was a mulberry in behind that.

    I am working again tomorrow so I will try to get a few piccies, i just now need to work out how to stop them being too overgrown whilst not making it too obvious that I have been there, this is on waste ground from an old convent that a part has had a development on, but the rest is between the building and a public field.

    ps anyone know how and when to take cuttings from mulberries?

    Fantastic! I had a 'secret' damson tree, but it's been chopped down for 'access' But I still have a crowd of bullace trees that are a great alternative to sloes I haven't been to check them yet this year, but they're probably somewhere near ready now...

    Haven't a clue about mulberry cuttings, but I would think they'll be the same as other hardwoood cuttings?

      In Africa the sticks couldn't be used as stakes as the things kept rooting ....

      EDIT: so hopefully they'll grow as easily here

      Never test the depth of the water with both feet

      The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

      Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
