Steve,
After dealing with a very strenuous mental day of learning five new languages with five new accounts, I welcomed the evening of plucking the cherry & large tomatos. Then I remembered you have the elderberry bush. Wonder if I could plead "mental sanity" while getting arrested during harvesting your elderberries????:D:D:D

Oooohhhh.....I LOVE elderberry jelly... :D :D :D

I miss it, but the bushes just don't grow around here like they did when I was a kid a couple hours farther north. They were always along the roads and my mother would harvest them to make the jelly.

I know Jim. I haven't seen a wild elderberry plant in probably twenty years or more. But I do think I know where at least one is at:D:D:D!

I got elderberries :confused::confused::D:D



Yea I do. Tried talking the wife into her taking her wand :eek: and making some jelly, but to no avail :(

Most of the berries have fell off or are now 15 mile away, delivery distribution by birds splattering up someone's windshield :eek::rolleyes::D


Holler next year bud. We have more bushes that should produce next year on the back 40 ;)

i was told by a visitor the other day that i have an elderberry bush in my backyard. i tasted one, but it didn't really seem to be all that flavorful.
anyone have a jelly recipe? there are enough berries on the bush to make something, i think.
