"..she found a little bottle on it ("which certainly was not here before,” said Alice), and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words “DRINK ME” beautifully printed on it in large letters.....

There are numerous Ribes species- currants and gooseberries- here. All are attractive from their very early foliage, early flowers, mid season fruit in various colours and flavours and great fall colour, from pale in shade to blazing in sun.This one is growing on the edge of a wetland on the farm.

Fierce guardian of the currants
#Arachnid #Wildlife #gardening #Currants

I foraged these #currants at a nearby school. Felt pretty conspicuous as it was on a fairly busy street, but did it anyway - these #berries are worth it. Very nice flavour.

It’s been a #berry good year for #serviceberries, #gooseberries, and red #currants. Jammin’ with the local fruits to #preserve the flavor of #summer. #canning much gratitude for the #natural bounty.

I'm not saying Worst Year Ever but we *just now* baked delicious, #glutenfree red #currants muffins and made a runny but tasty jam from the black currants I stuffed in the freezer last... June? Ugh...

Pink currants!

Second harvest of red currants #urbangardening #currants

The clove currants on one bush are very big and a bit more red than the others. I have some from cuttings and others dug up from seedlings so I'm not sure if it's location or one of the seedlings. It is good soil but shaded where these are. Most of the others are full sun and most of them poor soil, or just rocky.

Chicken update, currant events.

Red currants, gooseberries, wax currants, and serviceberries.

Another of our plantings from last year that's producing a small crop of fruit this year is the red currant.

Prolly gonna use this tiny haul to make us a small batch of scones. Someday though, I want to be able to make jelly from these!

Crataegus douglasii - black hawthorn, gooseberry, and red currants.

I was looking for a white lilac the other day in a brushy area that has these hawthorns and the distinct smell of death lingered in the air. It's not the plague, just the hawthorn smell.

Turn your scent settings to high: the clove currants are blooming!

Some of the clove currants Ribes odoratum were open and you could even smell them.
