I am so happy to see a young person interested in gardening, foraging and doing things the old fashioned way. Also, I absolutely love your "potting shed" come allotment kitchen. It is lovely. Keep up the good work.
Great to have you back making videos. I have been looking forward to updates on you and your dad's allotment. I find your videos inspirational. Thanks for sharing, please keep them coming. I will definitely try that elderberry recipe.
Beautiful video...a good tip is to use an "afro-comb" when picking elderberries, the comb makes it a lot easier to separate the berries from the twigs and stems
Love your channel! You’re very creative and very confident. I think you are a great example as to how a human being should behave. BTW, you remind me a lot of kirsten Dunst. God bless you. P.S. looking forward to more videos. Thank you for showing us how to build a frog 🐸 pond, I’m making one, I had slugs last year in my raised beds.
Thank you so much and I would never call myself confident, I'm so shy you wouldn't believe it! I guess I'm just so passionate about my allotment :) But honestly, thank you so much for this comment, it's made my day and have fun with your pond
Welcome back, it's good to see you again! Thank you for the informative video. Hopefully you won't need to use it, but it's nice to have it on hand in case you do. I'll have to go foraging to see if I can find any elderberries growing near me.
Thank you, it' good to be back making videos, I almost forgot how to do it! I'm the same, hoping I don't need to use it but strangely looking forward to drinking it :)
Lovely video...don't really have access to elderberries, but can purchase through a catalogue I receive...like the natural qualities of this syrup...like black cherry syrup for arthritis...so good to see you back on YT...enjoy your Fall season!
Thank you Michelle, will be interesting to see if it works regarding colds :) It's amazing that we are surrounded by so many natural remedies without knowing it.
Enjoyed your video :) I knoticed too how early fruit is this year, I did an article on my own website about wild fruits, and how many was growing wild around my village, I think its intresting how many love this kind of thing. :)
It has here too heat and rain little bit of sun then same again and again, i run a web page for my village and i did a set of photo's on foraging, it got a lot looking and they all seemed to enjoy it as much as i did :)
So happy to see you again!!! I hope you had nice summer!!! About elderberries sirop, This is the first time that I see how to make it, what I did few years ago, it was a huge success, before the winter I took all the raspberries, cleaned them, put them in a sterilised glass jar, add sugar till it cover the berries, continue to do it few times, then let it sit there, it become a pure alcohol of raspberries this is huge help in the winter if you have a cold etc.
Thank you Becky, It's been a little hectic with work and Wales etc but I'm trying to squeeze allotment time in. Wow that sounds interesting! I've heard about making flavoured gin and vodka etc but this is amazing!
That's really inspired me me I'm suffering with flu at the moment but I do find and that elderberry and echinacea tea bags are quite helpful I have cut down on sugar quite a lot lately does it matter what type of sugar you use and can you make other things with elderberries
I can't seem to find any this year. Humans or birds must be getting there before me. I'm going to order some dried off Amazon to make some syrup this year. Last cold I had I bought a bottle of syrup and did shots of it several times a day. My cold lasted less than three days! And I'm usually the sort of person who keeps a cold, it lingers for weeks. Now I know why my mom always made jelly and syrup for winter use. :)
I was the same with cherry plums, we think someone noticed that we were foraging them and beat us to it this year! A lovely story about the cold though, I'm hoping I don't get one but glad I have this on hand to try. Elderberry jelly sounds divine!
Oh I do, if you go back through my channel you'll find some :) Unfortunately I've been a little busy and because this is just a hobby it's been put on the back burner

That sounds amazing and I have plenty of rasps on hand too :)
Be aware, I dont cook it at all only put it to ferment.
Yes, I've seen marrows packed with brown sugar in a similar way :)

Evening Katie could you put some syrup in a glass and add say lemonade just as a nice cold drink ??
You can use it like a cordial, on ice cream etc I haven't tried it yet though :)

I really want to make this but i don't know where i could find Elderberry in Manchester. hmm i'll have to ask about :) thanks for the recipe!
You'll find in the places you'll least suspect it!
Can order dried ones online too
Could you use honey, instead of sugar x
started to watch as thought you did garden things, ......
Oh I do, if you go back through my channel you'll find some :) Unfortunately I've been a little busy and because this is just a hobby it's been put on the back burner
I like eating them raw.
You speak very much like a 'lttul giwl'. Do you have learning difficulties? You are doing well to grow things.
Thank you! I wonder why you didn't post this comment along with your other ones on my latest video as my voice hasn't changed...
You shouldn't jump to conclusions.
