Blackberries

Last berry post for the week, I promise.

On the left: home-grown blackberries from my incredible edibles thornless blackberry (currently shrouded in fine-meshed wired to prevent chicken attacks). On the right: foraged wild blackberries from a secret spot in Lower Hutt.

My home-grown berries are spectacularly plump and juicy – a great investment plant. But I’m never going to tire of foraging. There’s just something about finding food for free that gives me a small thrill.

I’m thinking about making a blackberry and apple pie with my haul, maybe this one by Mr J. Oliver?
