Sloe berries-I think

Amazed by the number of these berries which I think are sloe berries. From what I could find you should wait for the first frost then pick them ready for slow gin.

Lovely shot - I haven't seen any in years!

[Phil Cameron]

Slow Gin is a real luxury... hic

[Louise]

yes, they are slow berries; time to make some sloe gin?! Lovely shot - great colours.

[Gena Pegg]

hmmm...look just like blue berries. Intersting!

[David]

Nicely done like the colours

[Janet]

Definitely sloes. Not quite ready - another 3 weeks. However if you wait for the frost they may all be gone!

[Heidi Parnell]

Last time I had slow gin it ended in disaster....! Good to see them in their natural form though!

[Kev]

So that's what they are... Saw some the other day and didn't think they were blueberries.

[Amy]

Yes! Sloe gin! Amazing! Remember where these are and go make some!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Lovely shot. Oh yes. They are Sloes all right. Sloe gin - gorgeous (just don't make it as sweet as the books suggest)

[Fisher Family]

We have a number of these trees in our garden but never do anything with the fruits, of which there seem to be many this year. In fact they end up dropping on the lawn and being eaten up by the lawn mower which makes a great mess!!

What a wonderful dusty blue/black colour... lovely shot. We see the wrinklies going around with buckets collecting these.. now we know why they smile so much :)
