Food for the picking. Blackberrying&

Blackberrying is a traditional custom that most of us have enjoyed at one time or another. There are other Hedgerow Harvests too, that provide good things for the larder. So why not take the children and go a-harvesting? Be sure, however, that in their excitement they do not damage bushes or hedges, or waik through growing crops, or gather mushrooms, for instance, in fields without getting the farmer's permission. Elderberries are delicious stewed with half -and-half apple; or made into jam with an equal quantity of blackberries.
