Hi Doris, did you know that if you leave the elderberry for a year and open it when the plant is in flower the wine becomes sparkly like champagne  ;D. So when did you say you were coming up to help?  ;)  hahahahahahahaha.

When my plot is finished and ready to go! Can you wait 4 years???!!! ;D ;D ;D Must try elderflower this year, trouble is we only have 1 source of the plants, so we tend to wait for the berries cos they taste soooooooo  good :D

Doris, Just been admiring your lottie and like everyone else I am filled with awe at how you have transformed it.  You are "wonderwoman", especially as it looks a tricky plot with it being on the slope. Congratulations you should feel very proud of it.  ;D busy_lizzie

Thanks for your comments, and yes I guess I do feel proud, though all that digging hasn't changed my waistline :'(. Les, Luckily I only work 2/3 days a week, the rest of my time has been spent up the plot! Consequently, my house looks like a tip :o Haven't seen the kids under piles of laundry for weeks! ;D But the housework will always be there, the good weather wont! ;D
