Re: Red currants
Mine are still flowering but they are loaded with flowers. My gooseberries have the biggest crop on they've ever had. Keeping my fingers crossed that the mildew doesn't strike again.

Re: Red currants
Mine are heavily laden but my black currants look rubbish in comparison. First time growing either so don't know if this is normal!
Re: Red currants
my redcurrants are tiny green dots... as are the blackcurrants
Re: Red currants
I noticed the white currants had grown this morning, how long does it take after the flowers have gone for the fruit to be ready to pick?

Usually June/July time. Mine are covered in little green berries now too!

Re: Red currants
You'd better get cracking then, MMM. Redcurrants with everything - or break into homebrew?
