Quick harvest round edge of the playing field and easily enough for a crumble. 😀

Seem to be a bit early here - Derby way. And lots more still to come by the look of it.

Funny you say that, I've noticed they've been out early in the roadside hedgerows of Leeds. I'll be visiting the local field next week and preparing for mass jam-making 🙂

27 July 2016. 2kg.

Early and a bit seedy IMO.

Yup, spotted them beside the roundabout outside work yesterday. Bit early innit?

Still, crumble time 😀

We were picking blaeberries & wild rasps on our bike ride today in the highlands. They were good.

I've still got 20lbs left from last year. 😆

I'll give it a couple of weeks.

I've had a handful from the garden and hedgerows around work. Another week or so before crumble time in MK I reckon.
