We have home made wine, made by Zigs which costs about 50p a bottle, and without the nasty chemicals that produce a hang over.
At the moment we are watching the brambles to produce some gorgeous bramble tip wine. Back in the autumn we collected hawthorn berries - that wine was super - a bit strong, but I usually dilute it a little with sparkling water - a huge extra expense - from Tesco at 17p a bottle . My favourite one at the moment is made from the water after blanching parsnips (which go in the freezer)
You don't know what you and Waitrose are missing

More of the same. This is a pot of wildflower seeds I planted. No telling what is going to pop up!

The pink flowers are Cosmos vette-kid.

Thank you! They are quit vibrant. Several more about to open up. Unfortunately some of the wildflowers have rather ugly greenery!

 

[Sheal]

Cosmos aren't considered wild flowers here. There are various shades of pink or dual coloured, white and more recently yellow.
