Our #gooseberry bushes did not fruit, but they are still young.

I've just picked 530 grammes of fruit from my blackcurrant bush. I have no idea if this is typical, good, or poor. Nor who to ask.

Finally a cool cloudy day. I fought my way thru the overgrown garden to collect blackcurrants.
The birds got most of them, but still plenty left for the humans.
My redcurrants were awesome this year, and for the first time in a decade, the peach tree has little peaches!
(We live too high up, peaches and walnuts don't like the climate)
Was feeling apathetic about picking #blackcurrants in this heat. Magically, the birds did the picking for me.

for several hours now.
Ensure blackcurrants get plenty of water and nutrients, especially in containers. In spring, apply a high-potash fertilizer or pelleted chicken manure, and mulch well. Keep them weed-free, and use nets to protect ripening fruits from birds. #GardeningTips #Blackcurrants
There are some very happy insects outside my window. They may appear insignificant, but the mining bees love the blackcurrant flowers. #SolitaryBees #Blackcurrants #Pollination
Culinary Adventures #107: Blackcurrant Fool
For my recent birthday I tried something I’d not done before and made blackcurrant fool. I don’t do puddings very much due to the need to minimise sugar intake, and I’m not used to mucking about with cream. But I felt like having a go, after all it can’t be hard! Besides we had some blackcurrants taking up much needed space in the freezer. So here it is …
Blackcurrant Fool
Serves: 4-6
Preparation: 15 minutes + cooling + 10 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
Ingredients
500g blackcurrants
100g caster sugar
300g double cream
250g thick Greek yogurt
Splash cassis (optional)
What to do
Simmer the blackcurrants for about 10 minutes with the sugar and a splash of water (or cassis) until the fruit has broken down and the juices have become syrupy.
