Yes we have got Blackberries , but they are not that good due to the hot and dry conditions , I have seen a few field Mushrooms that look in good condition and then the next ones you see have got small holes in the top which indicate they might have maggots in them .

getthegat Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Dumb question of the day; what does sugar beet look like? I have a field of globes near me, they are light green in colour, about the size of a parsnip, tastes like a sweet beetroot and has similar ring pattern when cut open. Tops are a little like spinach. Hoping it may attract birds when the frost and snow hits us. I guess it's a cover crop and if it is sugar beet, there are no drop points anywhere near for the crop to be taken to.
