I only got te one picking of blackberries too. however I have located some sloes and plenty of crab apples and also some rowan berries and rosehips.We have not done well for puffballs either. However oh has located some ordinary mushrooms so hopefully I shall get some of these put up as well. Elderberry wine is looking good. my mum always used to make it as did my nan. hopefully they will be on the list next year. I do have some pontack sauce that I made about four years ago. you are supposed to keep that for seven. its meant to give a hidden depth of flavour to stews and casseroles etc. I have some house orange and lemon on the go at the moment as well as some elderflower - from a kit. Each season brings something different.
