Wild fruits of Lantallack

Have just found these little beauties in the fields here...the Shaggy Cap (otherwise so aptly named for this household...Lawyer's Wig) is growing in abundance in the orchard.  The Blewitt (or Blue Leg) is further down the valley...both are edible, but avoid alcohol with the Shaggy Cap.  


The large white conical one is The Miller, also edible...and, as its name suggests, has a taste of freshly ground flour and cucumber...as for the one in the front, don't touch it....its deadly!!

Lantallack Gives So Much

Lantallack gives so much. This is the third crop of toms and still more coming. Didn't have time to sow in spring but last year's plants self-seeded themselves and left alone have gone mad!!  Isn't nature a wonderful thing?



Laxton Superb.  And isn't it beautiful.  Just making last but one crushing for apple juice, mixed with Newton Wonder it should be fab!
