Have just braved this mornings grotty weather to lift the first tranche of Black Truffles from the garden. Every year the yield is seemingly more impressive, this mornings first crop was just over 360gms. Separated into 25gr ish, portions, packed sous vide and put away for the time being. 200grs is headed to our fave resto, which will be a bit of a supplemental earner at a heavily discounted 1250€/k. Last year we cropped over 5kg, this year we predict a greater yield.

Blimey. How did you find them initially?

I have a garden not very far from you. What is the chance of me finding Black Truffles and what type of terrain do they like? Your posting lifted my spirits today and given me a challenge to research something interesting. The highlight of the day was washing mud and leaves off one of our cars while my wife took a turn at walking the dog.

Hey, life's not so grim Lurcher. One of our cars has sunblistered paint and not worth washing. The other refuses to start and I can't fathom what is wrong. Digging truffles in the rain might have its appeal but this time of year I would rather stay in bed. On second thought since the electric blanket stopped working even that has lost its magic.

If that was my garden my dog would get there first and eat them.

Blimey. How did you find them initially? Between 15 and 17 years ago I planted the impregnated trees hazel and oak. For the past 9 years we have reaped the rewards, other than lifting the truffes, with no additional care. Before anybody throws a hissy, we declare any earnings made to the man.
