August harvest and foraging summary 2016

As well as the garden harvest this month's summary also covers our foraging activity, including the hazelnuts we picked up in Turkey. This presents a problem for calculating the worth of some of the items as they are not available in most shops. So we have had to do a rough calculation using the prices for similar types of produce, for example the price of plums to work out the worth of the damsons.
