Harvesting Damsons.
« on: September 04, 2018, 16:59:17 »
Picked nearly 5kg of damsons this afternoon and now I've got a really sore back!

I reckon it must be plumbago!!!

I wish I had some to pick - one of my favourite jams.
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

It is a good year for "Blue Carpet".. looking at picking about 40 lbs and leaving the other 100 to fall.
