It was so cool to watch the butterfly come out. Unfortunately I don't think this would be practical for your beans though seeing as they are outside.<br /><br />Lea White<br />http://whitesinnz.blogspot.com/2009/01/to-witness-something-magical.htmlLea Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115298071761933905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-12109255859536531702009-11-28T22:29:27.048+13:002009-11-28T22:29:27.048+13:00I made elderflower cordial for the first time last...I made elderflower cordial for the first time last week and it's really yummy! Hope your's goes well Laura xx I missed the gorseflower programme but did spot the recipe on his website and thought i'd give it a try, i have 7 bottles of elderflower champagne just bottled and another bucket to go, so it'll have to wait until after that. Fingers crossed there are no explosions and it's as good as the cordial! xxRustiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130508631555484022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-24177031729219612432009-11-26T01:51:43.104+13:002009-11-26T01:51:43.104+13:00You can have some of my gorse....I'd swap some...You can have some of my gorse....I'd swap some for some elderflower cuttings but I think I'd be getting the better end of the bargain ;)Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-66635711522142666702009-11-25T13:52:49.615+13:002009-11-25T13:52:49.615+13:00Melanie, I really hope so too, it was one of the r...Melanie, I really hope so too, it was one of the reasons we bought our farm, Darroch means Oak in Gaelic.<br /><br />Rain! lucky you Cat, we've still had not a drop, skies are blue as blue today, which is lovely really, but a bit of rain over night would be nice!Laura @ Our Wee Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240391312194055909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-72325150375426398932009-11-25T11:45:28.754+13:002009-11-25T11:45:28.754+13:00We had rain for almost a whole night and whole day...We had rain for almost a whole night and whole day, but before that we'd had a week of days over 30.

Ours are in the chicken run and form a hedge round the orchards so we have a lot. We're sub tropical with a couple of frosts a year and usually wet winters, they seem to thrive! We made champagne last year too. We've just been watching Hugh F-W and he made wine from gorse flowers - it looked amazing!

What conditions do they like? How fast are they growing?
