HI

I quite like the idea of growing sloe for some slow vodka, and i was wondering if anyone has any berrys left that i can attempt to sow?

Is there any other eating berrys i can grow this way?

I'm growing Goji at the moment.

I bought a dry pack at tesco's (lol) and de-seeded a couple.

They are growing fine and are apparantly very good for you!

Well, lol, they fruit in the himilayas....

I'm keeping them protected for the 1st year or two though (provided they live that long!) - They would definately fruit in a greenhouse.

Do you want me to send you some seeds?
