damson picking

Went damson picking this morning with the energetic loafonline and picked c.10 kg in 1.5 hours without really moving from the single stretch of trees. We have plans to make both jam and cheese, but will have plenty available if anyone wanted to get in touch.

There is still so much more on these trees, and we probably left an easy kilo on the ground with probably 30 kg beyond the reach of our ladders. By the way, this is loafonline’s original tip of what can be found there, and everything still seems readily available. The damsons are pretty much where the marker is on the map below.

Went via one of abundancebrum’s usual apple haunts on the return journey, and while there remains quite a few on the trees, our heart fell at how many had already gone to waste. These are excellent eaters, and we picked an easy 5kg, available for those that want some. Just drop us a line.
