Mr Muddy 141 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Is it ok to pick sloes yet? I know you're supposed to leave till the frost, but right down south we didn't even have any frost till midwinter last year. besides, I want to get them before some other bugger does Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ye, its right you should wait for a frost but it sounds like your in same boat as me, if you wait someone else will snaffle them. Pick em, wash em, pick through em, drain em, bag em and bung them in the freezer until you use them. Jobs a good un. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Like trappa said, pick 'em and put 'em in the freezer to frost them. If it's anything like last winter, we hardly had any frost. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
