trappa 518 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Trimming back my bramble hedge yesterday when i came across 3 big fat black brambles. Anyone beat that?? Im guessing down south someone will have been picking by now? Another fortnight and i will be knee deep in them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 That is early Trappa. I think this year is going to be bountiful. I picked enough elderflower today for my champaigne in about a half an hour. Also there's a sloe bush near me that's ranking already that didn't produce a sloe last year. Better start buying my gin.

trappa 518 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Nice one neil. Havent even given sloes a thought yet, might have a mooch tomorrow. This is going to be a cracking bramble year, your right, seems to be loads of bees about to pollinate the flowers, maybe the pro beekeepers will know why. My bramble hedge is full of green brambles at the mo, gonna be a bumper crop in a couple weeks!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Not seen any blackberries, but there are loads of green sloes on the blackthorns round here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
