That's so lucky! They love them here.

What birds are that? I get mostly pigeons, various tits, blackbirds and pheasants.

Awesome! May I ask where you get yours from?

I bought the first one 10 years ago, the other 11 bushes were grown from prunings. If you can wait until the end of the year and have something to swap, you could participate in http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...6-a_88728.html

How do you eat blackcurrants? I make ice cream out of them, but then I worry that fruit shouldn't just be a vehicle for lots of sugar and fat.

I add rolled oats and roasted sunflower seeds and have it for breakfast every day for about a month a year.

All of those birds the black birds are there non stop. Ive 4redcurrant bushes too and I haven't managed to get any for several years. I have about 6 (maybe more) blackcurrants and i do get to pick some but I really do have to share.

I grow around 30 different varieties of fruit.

My absolute favourite is Black Raspberry, because it tastes so different from all other fruit.

But I guess I like all the fruit in my garden as well.

Not sure I have a favourite, probably raspberry.

We inherited raspberrys, gooseberry and rubarb.
Have since added more gooseberries and found a great source of sloes and blackberries.
Then we moved the two young dessert apples and a cherry tree to the plot before adding a plum, peach, nectarine, pear and cooking apple. Also my sister gave us 60+ strawberry plants.
At the house we have two maturing grape vines and a blueberry all in large pots.

I have cultivated a damson tree (still in a pot, it's year two and 15" tall). I plan to add this to the back hedge at the house as another source of lovelyness in a few years time.
We also grew 3 cape goosberry plants this year so that will be interesting (if they mature and fruit).

In theory we should be inundated with fruit, in practice we get some nice stuff and a few disappointments, such is a gardeners lot.

Fabulous, sugar! Fantastic picture

ESBKevin, I'm a huge raspberry fan, too!
