Elderberry Ambitions


First there are enormous green formations, which turn white and delightsome for pollinators.

"Although elderberries grow well in moist soils, it's a myth they can grow in poorly drained, wet soils." Call me Myther Gardener - we have soggy clay soil, poorly drained, overloaded with rain.



 This bush is weighed down by the ripe berries. My two elderberries are currently about 10 feet tall and not yet ripe. I would gladly have a green wall of them, but the birds planted their own favorites.
