And looking so pretty, but this is Black Bryony and all parts of it are poisonous. We’ve got it growing in a shady part of the garden intermingled with some ivy. It comes up every year but doesn’t spread very much. More apple collecting followed by peeling and cooking ready for the freezer. Must try and find some blackberries to add to the next batch. Tomorrow we are meeting another prospective friend for Ziggy. Hope it all goes well.
