Harvesting fruits from local trees
It is fruit harvest-time in Sydenham. There are so many local fruit trees in streets and gardens but most of the fruit goes unpicked. The cherries have mostly finished but the plums are ready. Is anyone interested in calling on neighbours to talk about street fruit trees that need harvesting and to offer help with harvesting fruits in gardens? Soon it will be the turn of the apples and the pears. Are there any volunteers out there?

Last week it was harvesting plums and making plum jam; today a friend and I went out harvesting wild blackberries and damsons. More jam-making this evening - this time blackberry jam. There is plenty of wild fruit ready for picking now so do go out with friends and make it a social event.
