Me and my mum went for a walk last Sunday, and i had planned to do some blackberry picking with her. So we did this, and got 2 containers full of delicious blackberries! We went a little further into a field we hadnt been into before and in the far corner was an old, over run allotment. There were no signs of the battered gate and the field was public footpath, so we went into it. It was amazing! there was pear tree's, apple tree's around 10 plum tree's, grape vine, beetroot, parsnip, spinach!
I picked some plums and spinach, and mum got some beetroot. It was so nice. Its just a shame how over run the place was.
I was also bare foot all of the walk so it was nice to feel the mud squidge through my toes (it rains alot here in the uk!) but then the wet grass cleaned my feet off.
I also picked some dandelion leaves and had them in my salad.
In the afternoon i went to my friends dads farm. He has about 10 plum tree's (about 3 different varieties, about 6 apple tries, 3 pear tree's and a mulberry tree!
the apple and pear arnt ripe yet so i picked a bag full of plums and i also ate some mulberries.
I must have got about £20 worth of food for free that day! My mums fig tree also has a couple of figs on it and her tomato plants are very fruitful!
This summer is going to be so good!
