Still picking



The grapes, tomatoes and beans keep ripening, and, of course, the blackberries! As you drive through the country lanes you see people with basins picking them.

There is an old North Country recipe where you sandwich the blackberries between two discs of pastry or shortbread so I'm going to try it.
The autumn raspberries are ready too.
I think grease-banding the fruit trees in the Spring has helped as, apart from the ancient apple-tree, there is very little blight.
