Greyman 25,295 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Anyone else think the fruit growth this year is very early, and a bit sporadic, have seen trees covered in sloes already, yet a tree next to it has nothing on,likewise blackberry,s most are still green but the odd bush is covered in ripe ones, also seeing rose hips about earlier than usual?

forest of dean redneck 11,191 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I thought the blackberries was late as I hadn't seen any black ones in hedges all green or red,but then wife came back with load from by allotments other day. I picked some sloes couple days ago,put them in freezer, will get some gin when I'm up town next and then put them in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same recipe but I use vodka instead of gin, it's a nicer taste also going to try rose hip vodka as well, when I make my rose hip syrup, it's good for the joints, and mine need all the help they can get, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
