    Drought or no drought, I'm gonna try growing elderberries for tea (flowers only), jelly, wine and because they're just darn pretty! Haven't seen any in local nurseries (could be bad news) so I ordered 4 from Starks (big bucks) - they should be here in a couple of weeks. I have seen one huge one growing in a yard in town but when the house sold it was cut down - bummer.

    Please tell me if you're growing them, what care they're given, where they like to grow in your yard and if you use the flowers and fruit (which must be properly cooked) for edibles.
