Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Seen some round here that have turned Purple already, very small though. A long while to go till October when i usually pick them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert the fert 28 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Not seen any sloes hereabout, but my damsons are fat and green, about where i'd expect them to be this time of year. It's looking like a bumper crop too . I got some lovely blackcurrants from a neighbouring farm and they're maturing nicely in this years blackcurrant vodka. Got my damsoms earmarked for damson gin.

But picked 2kilos of Sloes (Still masses about our way) over the weekend after coming across 3 1/2 Litres of Gin in the garage loft i didn't know was there.
