June 2011 is a month where one catholic holiday comes after the next. For Austria this means, plenty of days off work and off school. For visitors to Austria this means, keep in minding that shops will be closed due to holidays. So much free time will be used by many to take care of the plants and flowers in the garden and on the balcony and it is the time to pick berries: expecially strawberries, but as well red currant, and raspberries - usually black currant, black berries, blue berries and brambles take a little longer to ripen.
Depending on weather and vegetation it is the time for the elderflower tree to blossom – this is the time to hurry up and fetch some of these lovely smelling bushes of tiny little white flowers. You can use elderflower blossoms to make a yummy desert. Cover them in batter and fry them.
