Thanks for the pic.. that's bilberries.. look like blueberries to me. Ah well.
I'd enjoy picking my own berries too, unfortunately Oz govt seems to me 'controlled' by property developers so all fertile land near cities gets rezoned.. another story.
It is good to see that Europe and japan are different and actually keep some agricultural land zones around towns and cities.
Pick some mulberries occasionally..
used to be able to get blackberries but they are under houses now..
Dec there's this organic farm trail north of Sydney I saw on TV.. is that what you do sometimes?
I reckon fresh and unsprayed with pesticides (or minimal if absolutely necessary) has a LOT going for it.. organic even more.
Same with chickens, eggs, milk.. that's one reason I am against that mary river dam. It will flood most of the organic rich farmland nth of BN.. the farmers really have nowhere to go instead...
probably there goes my milk(which I have tried twice).. cleopatra's bath milk (to get past the law on being raw).
