Elderflowers


These are Elderflowers, taken from cuttings in October/November 2009 and put in a pot of compost (sainsburys peat-free) and left outside over winter. At first they seemed to sprout, then die off a bit and now, come the spring, have sprung into action.

5 of the 6 cuttings have survived and I intend to transplant them into individual pots, get them a bit bigger and then transplant at home in the front garden. They will (hopefully) produce me masses of elderflowers that I will be able to turn into Elderflower Cordial.

I tried to make Elderflower Champagne last year and the bottles kept exploding, and I'm loathe to try it again.
