I have 2 apple trees (still babbies) a pear tree, 2 Blue berry shrubs and several strawberry plants yet get loads and loads of free fruit when I take the dogs out...Bilberries, Raspberries, Strawberries and Brambles, my freezer still has some from last year....I may just have flowers!!!!

CSSA must get on with the fruit press idea!

Good idea but what I meant was I only get a tiny bit of fruit from my garden and loads and loads from the wild!!!! Hope when my fruit trees get bigger they produce enough for the press!!

that because the wild fruit has adapted to it's surroundings(been a plant in the area for a long time), yours have yet to be astablished , fruit tree love well rooted manure (you need to start collecting you chicken poo then once it is read feed it to the fruit bushes / tree

Hope you are wll fluffy and bump

Where do you get all this fruit, Sandy, I'll have to come out with you sometime - I've looked everywhere and I can't find any - mind you I have to keep the ten eyes in the back of my head trained on my dogs when I'm out with them so only have the front ones to look, and even then I often need them for the dogs too!

Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys, Lidi, Audi, Morrisons..... ;)No, Dunfirmlin train line and the disused road, Gartarry Woods, Tulligarth Mill, Peppermill Dam, Devilla Forest, Kennet Woods etc etc, we also got loads of wild garlic from Black Devon Woods in Clackmannan, a lot of other places have fruit etc but as Ben is a bit young, I don't trust him either so only go with my OH now.

OK, so no dogs and I'll come with you and Steve next time - I can't take any of mine to those places you've mentioned except the Dam as they'd be on the roads - you've seen the speed they go at lol
