test harvest & more berries

some more pictures from the cottage. we decided to try and see if the parsnips had grown something else besides the stalk and leaves. that's little niece pulling one out







she got this tiny one, we left the rest to grown some more







there will be a lot of wild blueberries for mom to pick. little did i know, the link suggests that i call these berries bilberries, or european blueberries, but they are same genus vaccinium and taste exactly like the northern american wild blueberry, so blueberry is their name







curiously there were a few blueberries that were actually black







you should have seen her fingers and face a bit later...







the red dots are lingonberries







this here is another edible mushroom, pale-yellow clavaria flava, there was a whole lot of them, still quite small so we left them to grow as well







heather in pretty bloom






i'll be spending next week under the greek sun, tell you all about when i come back!
