@twin dang that sounds pretty simple. Had I not hopped on the sober wagon, I'd totally try that.

@Oaktavia You have to keep a lid on but not tight so it can vent. Outside for 3 months or more. The longer the more alcohol in the wine.

Not quite ripe yet. Red raspberries.

@Oaktavia Did you get enough of them to make wine this time?

Nope I didn't pick any actually I just leave em.

@Oaktavia No wine this year. Maybe will pick enough of them next summer for wine.

Being able to grab a handful of fresh Blackberries on my lunchtime walks is my favourite part of summer in the UK.

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 so cool!

[T4920]

@Oaktavia I spend about 5 minutes picking them every day, the bushes surround an entire park so there are enough to last the entire summer...

No one else seems to pick them. My parents would take me there as a child to picks baskets of them for pies and crumble, so I guess the habit stuck!

So nice it's only a short walk from my workplace

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 that is pretty great that you are able to do that. We have wine berries in our yard but I prefer the blackberries.

Its paw paw season again which marks about a year since I started this thread.

Just change your name to @oystavia already

@Oaktavia yeah, man! My neighbour has over two hundred acres of woods he lets me wander - crazy what I find in there since it’s just me looking. I only take what I plan on eating in the next day or two - leave so much awesome stuff behind. Today was a great day

[Oaktavia]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot that's so rad!!!

@Oaktavia I have to look for some also.

Finally found more oysters on the property. Maybe it's been too hot for them?

[Oaktavia]

Stumbled upon fall oysters out back while taking pictures of my new cap. I cut around the eaten parts so Amanda and I can enjoy them yet again for dinner. Found on oak stumps in the backyard.
