Dessert mostly, berries galore! Even a few gooseberries this year. Neighbour gave me some red currants I turned into a pink lemonade. Tatties going to salads. Herbs for everything. Plums I thinned hard this year to hopefully see a smaller yet bigger crop. Apples going great again, last year I turned loads into apple and bramble jam. And loads of crumbles. And I fancy rowan jelly this year for the first time, and lavender chicken is a thing. I even had some dandelion leaves in my salad, and I fancy some nettles in a broth. You can even make sticky willy tea, but I haven’t been brave enough yet. Don’t eat the foxgloves though. Gardens are surprisingly edible
I read something, I forget where, about rowan berries having a toxin that’s bad for the kidneys. It may have meant just the raw ones. Would have to look it up in a decent foraging book though. The amount of “A.I.” generated misinformation that’s about now is horrendous.

You have loads!!! Our garden is mostly for bees, butterflies and birds, so they eat it and we just admire!!

Yup, I’ve had to go back to old books for the recipe to prepare them
