and the berries came and now the heads are bending towards the earth they are so loaded. I was going to try my hand at elderberry wine, but I didn't have any of the equipment and it would be about a $50 investment. I really grew them because I understand that cedar wax wings love to eat them. Last year the crows feasted for days, but this year they haven't shown an interest.

But what are you doing with yours?
