It is a sure sign that Summer is nearly over as fruit begins to appear in the hedgerows. There are lot of blackberries coming on but generally they are only just beginning to ripen. It's a bit early as yet to carry a bag with for a little bit of picking as I walk the dog.
The hawthorn berries are ripe.
There are also sloes in the hedges. I shan't be picking them as I am not a fan of Sloe Gin.
We're hopeful of blackberries here soon. Blackberrying is a favourite Sunday afternoon activity here
ReplyDeleteWalking today near Carcassonne there were ripe figs dropping from a tree above a wall - what a waste!! So perhaps the figs in Mum's garden will be ripe soon?
