New location

[blodders]

As some may be aware, we are moving home, to a completely new area, later this year. To that end I visited last week and took the opportunity to have a good nose around to see what foraging opportunities will be available.

I was quite pleased as I found, in no particular order; oranges, lemons, pomegranates, figs (loads of fig trees laden with fruit), olives, carob (good for horses and makes an ok chocolate substitute) and prickly pears.

All that lot was growing wild (or feral) within 500m of my new house. Quite pleased really.

How very dare you? Remember that Wales sticks out into the Gulf stream!

oranges, lemons, figs?.... within 500 yards? are you foraging from Tescos? ;)

Mains water is only 500m further than that.

Sounds a great place blodders.

I'm growing lemon, tangerine & oranges in Scotland, the lemons & oranges are both fruiting just now, none are growing wild here though.

Hello phobos, excuse the fainting smiley, but to celebrate your ninth post in three years I didn't know what else to do...

Hope you will exceed your tally soon, the compost bin needs topping up...
