Went out to pick some blackcurrants before the rains came (but they didn't!!!!). Still loads more to pick but enough for today. Amazed at how big some of them are considering we have had little rain for over 2 months. Nature is brilliant.
@Feijoa What a welcome to the forum. Fabulous. I have made some gooseberry jam and started some gooseberry wine (going great guns in this warm weather). Just finished bottling some of the blackcurrants. Always disappointing to see how much you picked to then find you end up with 4 bottles! But ready for later on in the year. Weather permitting will pick some more blackcurrants tomorrow.
Had a few loganberries but nothing like others have shown (not really a fruit that does well for us).
@baertrand-mabel Thank you very much! I agree about quantity that we end up with! haven't had much luck with blackcurrants this year.. well whatever little we have it gives us joy to grow
Managed to harvest in between the rain showers. The broad beans I thought would just be a small handful but got a full bowl. Amazed that the beans are so plump considering we have had so lttle rain. The peas are the last from the first row. Next row starting to pod up.And the dwarf french beans first ones this year.
