Sofia is full of fruit trees and shrubs. When I was a kid, people used to pick the fruit. I remember walking for kilometers to find plums that hadn’t already been picked by other kids. We ate them while they were still green.
Rose hips can be used to make jam, although this has fallen out of fashion over the years.
There’s no cat in this photo.

I’ve made rosehip syrup too, it makes quite a nice hot drink watered down. I think it was a WW2 thing in the UK, when we were struggling for sources of vitamin C.

I see your friend off to the sides. Green plums, that’s a first for me. I would think people would pick the fruit or it just rots.

It’s this tree. They are everywhere. 30-40 years ago, kids would pick the fruits and eat them while they’re still green. Now they ripe, fall to the ground, and you step on goo

There are absolutely loads of rosehips all around in my neighbourhood just going to waste. I was going to go down to the land at the side of one house and pick the brambles and rosehips that are next to their property, but we are in the middle of a storm just now!
My own brambles and rosehips are in their infancy.
I can’t understand why people waste wild fruit or worse fruit in their own gardens.

Right, most fruit around just falls to the ground and rots.
I saw a person selling blueberries yesterday. They were at the entrance of the hiking trail we did on Sunday, and that trail is surrounded by blueberries. You can pay like 5 euro for a handful of blueberries or walk 1 minute and eat all you can find. Why? Who knows.

I had to rescue my blueberry plants from the storm. They have loads of fruit already.
We have rhubarb in the garden and often we have more than we can eat, freeze or pickle. I remember being shocked when a neighbour asked if we wanted money for some that we offered her. Then we found out how much three stalks were in the supermarket!!

I just got to know from a friend about rose hip oil, if I’m not mistaken, it helps with pigmentation. Got to try it out.
The cat looks like a statue.
