Rhubarb recipes please

Blackberries are out.

Yum! Have you seen a book called Food For Free? Keep meaning to buy it myself, might be right up your street Clive if you're into collecting your dinner from wild hedgerows.

Blackberries aren't ready yet here, at least not in the little hollow where I live. I'm going to make a trip to my secret gathering place though in a few weeks now you've reminded me!

There are not enough recipes and knitting patterns on this forum

I agree

Anyone able to tell me how I know when my apples are ready to pick? I have three small trees, one with one red apple on, one with a few medium to large bramley's and one with quite a few green eating apples on.

I'd hate them to fall off when I wasn't looking!!

I was told if you twist them twice along the axis of their stalk and they come off, they are ready. If they stay on the tree, leave 'em for a week (or at least a few days) and try again.
