Fragaria vesca

I was really surprised to find I have never posted a picture of these 🍓🍓🍓 probably because they are everywhere and grow like a weed...Rumour has it that the Queen Mother’s favourite jam was made with them. Pity the poor sod who had to pick them 🙄 ´cos I’ve a feeling it won’t have been her 😉😂

Yup that so true, she visited Deeside and got a taste for the wilds. Wonderful lady, strong but kind

Is that where you are Aly? I’d love to try it but it would take hours to pick enough just for one small jar 🙄 Plus I have a household full of gannets so I’d probably not even get a look in 😉😂 @thehardygardener

Yup born on Royal Deeside, my darling dearest his grandfather was a still man and the water key holder for Lochnagar Distillery. His grandmother was neighbour to Castle May, the QM's later residence

I feel ya on that, gannets! I eat them as I footererytootery around the garden, veg and herbs too

Beautiful part of the world. And yes, I do the same though one of the gannets has seen me and now does it too. I can’t win!! 😉😂 @thehardygardener

Oh monkey see, money do, tee hee
