Ours are up and open and I'm on the second batch of cordial.  I might freeze some this year for a treat later on..

Lucky you, tastes soooo good. I'm hoping to have a bit of space to freeze some this year too  :happy7:

It's always surprising, although it is fairly mild here that hedgerows and trees are always later sprouting and flowering in the spring!
