These plums were no bigger than an apricot and tasted quite similar. The flesh was as bright as the skin and as sweet as honey.
These plums were very similar to the above but slightly smaller and just as delicious. The picture is black and white so you can get an idea of how many thousands of plums I’m talking about here, I’ve never seen anything so covered in jewels.
These at first I thought were cherries as they are similar in size. To be honest I’m still not entirely sure but I can tell you the skin was slightly tangy and the flesh deep orange and unctuous.
I find these little beauties hilarious. How do they defy gravity like that? I think they are unripe plums as they were horribly bitter but maybe they’re greengages. Only time will tell.
These must have been greengages. There were very few of them but extremely delicious.
I’ve found all sorts of blackberries this year; extra large, minuscule, normal, sweet, flavourless, bitter and some which looked downright abnormal. A foraging trip just isn’t the same unless you consume half a hedgerow on your way.
The yellow plums look like Mirabelle plums to me. What a lovely harvest of fruits you have there. We are a bit further behind up in Scotland our harvest will be in September.
Great post! Love the fruit.
Yum! Fruit always tastes so amazing straight off the tree/hedge. 1 for the bucket, 1 for me…
Lucky you and what wonderful finds

What great fruit! Can’t believe how much fruit you have access to!
Wow, that’s a lot of fruit.
I’m waiting for the elderberries to ripe here in Scotland, I want to make elderberry syrup this year!
Hi! Thank you so much for your time visiting my blog and your sweet words too! 😀
That’s really lotta colorful fruits you found! How I wish we have all these here in Singapore! When I was a little gal, we used to have our own Rambutan trees, Cempedak trees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cempedak) and Jackfruit trees. We’d always plucked the rambutans to eat whenever our parents weren’t looking! It’s really so fun and a very memorable childhood for me. 😉
PS: That fruit in the 4th pic really amused me! xD
It’s such a brilliant time of year, isn’t it? I love that we can find so much produce around us.
But more importantly…you won my giveaway! Whoop! Drop me an email with your address in it so I can ask the Le Cordon Bleu guys to send you your prize!
Foraging for berries is so fun! Currently thinking of things for the glut of blackberries all over the hedgerows!
Lovely blog by the way! xxx
I adore that black & white picture; I’d have that on my wall! I love how descriptive you are with your words; I’m always left drooling hee hee!
great photos! always nice to see things in their natural state 🙂
Blackberries grow all over Seattle in the summer and my hands are totally scratched up from all the foraging- I just can’t stop! Those elderberries sound fantastic too…not sure if they grow around here but I’ll be keeping my eyes open for them on my next excursion!
Awww…..the joys of foraging, and those little yellow plums are the lovely Mirabelle, I have a tree in my garden here in France and they are delicious!
Great post!

What a gorgeous post, it is the most wonderful crop this year. The trees are so heavily laden with the most delicious fruits.
Last year we made the most fab sloe gin – this year I think a rumtopf is an absolute necessity too 🙂
Wow the plums here are the most delicious delicacies I’ve ever tasted, the best ever this year. Hope you’re enjoying the harvest 🙂 & all its benefits. So much home cooking to create & indulge yaaaaaay. Love your little veggie patch well done you.
Great blog, really enjoyed reading it.
Last year down here in Hampshire it was fantastic for foraging.. best haul ever! This year is slightly different. Wild plums and blackberries will probably be the best foraging we get, all due to the hot weather. The cherries cooked on the tree, similar weather resulted in our poor strawberry season too. We wIll be lucky to get a kilner jar’s worth of sloes .. and I love sloe gin! The difference a county makes. We may pop up and raid your larder!
I know, it’s amazing how different it is year to year and what you can find and when!
