Do You Forage?

Each generation is trained by the previous one, so if the current generation are not ‘traditional’ then it’s our generation’s fault. I am in the process of training my grandkids, we conkered last year & they've both been eating plums from local Trees they collected this year. I am glad they don’t have to forage to supplement their diet as they had to in the past👍🏻

I think seasonal products were available so we ate was available. I can't remember the incredible tonnage of strawberries we eat during two weeks in June but it certainly outstrips the demand for plums later on! (Heard all this last night.)

I think it’s a handed down thing OP, certainly is for us. All our family forage for nature’s goodies. We love finding stuff for decorating at Xmas as well. Pine cones up here in Scotland at the moment. 

I am hoping to forage for wool while up here. Bits left on barbed wire etc... fancy having a go at washing it and then felting it. 😁

I miss bilberries, they used to be around to pick on heathland. A bilberry pie was a real treat! 

I always come back with bits and bobs TDA, I've still got a bit of "foraged" Shetland wool in the van!
