My blackcurrants are looking fantastic. They are pretty sweet already and I think they’re not far off being ready to pick. Unlike the strawberries they haven’t yet attracted the attention of the birds though.

The berries are pretty huge too! I’m going to use the method my dad suggested to me to pick them. Prune off the branches they’re on and then go and sit somewhere with the radio on and take the berries off.
And then I shall make some jam!
