Looks like a great haul!
I made it a few years ago but used plastic water bottles instead - less aesthetically pleasing but no issues with breakages. Other tip I seem to remember is that I tried to pick the flowers first thing in the morning - there were generally fewer insects, especially thunder flies, on the flowers at that time of day.

Finally getting back into making stuff after house-move trauma and there’s so much good stuff here
The elder is in the front garden, the woods are full of wild leeks, looks like it’s going to be a bumper fruit year (Greengage and damson gin especially) so saving all the glass jars :)
Will know if the mash is any good by the weekend, will report back
