Spring blossom - blackthorn
Like most gardeners, I have a nose for a bargain, so a gorgeous-looking plant that also produces fruit scores double points.

We have a sloe hedge on the allotment, and I planned to make some sloe gin for the first time last autumn. Left it too late & they were all gone! Have done cranberry gin instead. Don't know what it will be like. Any other interesting variations?

Sloe gin still my favourite, but damson is great as gorgeous flavour and you don't need quite so much sugar! Tried it with blackberries. Waste of time!
