Normally we are inundated with the sloe crop round here , but this year not a single sloe to be seen , must be the too much rain.

Same here....
for us, march was cold and dry and April (onwards) it pi**ed it down. We've had a glut of blackberries so i'm trying blackberry vodka for a change, i'm hoping it turns out ok

[Greenerlife]

None down here in Surrey either.  I have a glut of raspberries and blackberries though, si am also making fruit vodka!

No sloes here in North Yorkshire they all frosted off in May alonf with the apples but loads of rosehips and some very late elderberries.

I saw a few rotten on bushes a few weekends back, but you really had to search for them. Was looking forward to sloe gin this year :-(

Very few round here too. Reasonable amount of late blackberries around now though.

[Sylvia]

I've got loads if anyone wants them

[RUSTYME]

Not nnticed any here either , but i don't drink so never bother with them anyway.
Blackberries are very small and hard , there were plenty of rowan berries and rose hips though , but no damsons , plenty of elderberries . Strange year .

[CaroleBulmer]

No sloes in South Somerset either and freinds in Dorset report they cant find any either.

[luckylady]

Nope, none here near York either.  Rowans and rosehips aplenty though - really must get round to making that jelly before its too late.

Yes please Sylvia send us some!! My OH is killing me with walks out in the country to find sloes, but there's no trace of any!

we have sloes hiding around the fields not as many as past years but enough and along with the late blackberries things will be good - I only drink water and teas due to the medications but  the berries = good presents for family and friends - we are on the Gloucestershire Wiltshire border - near a very good flour mill.

[WannabeLandOwner]

Collected 6lb of them yesterday and have now got my sloe vodka (dont like gin) on its way for christmas, must be the sun in Essex 

[Moleskins]

Well I've got 6 bottles worth of Sloe Gin on the go, my sloes were very sparse but from a good year we had a load in the freezer.
Does anyone know why the call is Sloe Gin - mine always seems to go quite quickly.
