At the risk of repeating myself as I've already posted on the 'drinks' forum, can someone please tell me why I should wait until the first frost before picking sloes?
I found a bountiful supply yesterday, lovely and ripe, but I don't think they will last for the frost, I'm sure they will be picked before then and I don't want to miss my chance.
I have a day off, my plastic bag and boots ready, dog lead out, to pick or not to pick ???
