Grey squirrels are a damn nuisance, they're destroyed so much of our native local ecology. It seems you you can't pick hazel huts in local woodlands any more in the UK because the squirrels get to them first before they're ripe. It now, sadly, seems very rare to be able to pick quality hazelnuts such as the ones you picked. 200g bag in Tesco £2.75, usually imported. Great video as always. Hogweed seeds as a spice - I hadn't thought of that. Be great if you could do a video on UK seeds including spice seeds, if you haven't already.

i bought a berry rake before i even bothered picking hawthorne, turns out its a great first berry to collect with one, as the hawthorne tree is adept at teaching you to respect what youre gathering whilst also teaching you how to use a berry rake properly, if you dont respect the hawthorne and just go raking away, it will stab you hahaa

I will have to keep an eye on mine. I have a young hazel, it's been chopped back quite a bit to make the pathway more useable, but this year there is a single hazelnut on it for the first time :) There's no danger of squirrels where I live, so I have no fear of leaving it on the tree for a month or two.

Have you made apple cider vinegar from crab apples? Very strong. Wonder if they rake leaves away from under that walnut tree, once fallen, as apparently it must be done (it affects the tree somehow, once it start rotting). To preserve tree health, thus future harvests. Apparently, green walnut peel tincture is good for something, leaves too. This video made my day

Those hazelnuts are amazing! We've got quite a few hazels growing around here, but over half of the nuts get eaten by worms (don't know what they're called in English) and most of the rest by squirrels, who take them as soon as they're ripe. It's a shame, they would be such an abundant food source otherwise.

As in price? It’s free. You can forage on any public land in the UK unless specifically asked not to, or on SSSI sites (Sites of special scientific interest), they are usually pretty well sign posted. You can also forage on private land with permission
