most delicious black currants
Josta (cross breed of black currant and gooseberry),
red currants,
raspberries,
and cherries*:Until next year when (hopefully) there will be some more ... as
we planted some more red&black currants, goose- and blackberries
* No, dear readers, again I did not fall off the ladder. :)
Luscious, tantalizing crop. Hazardous labour. Glad you're safe.:)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be much help collecting. :))) I don't even think I could watch. Relieved it's over till next year.:)
Sean, you must have such a well organized garden.
ReplyDeleteHow many cherry trees do you have? I have been told that the cherry trees require cross pollination to produce a crop. Is that correct?
So glad you managed to do the harvest safely :-)
ReplyDeleteClaudia,
ReplyDeletesuppose it would be breathtaking, indeed, to watch me on top of the ladder. :)
Ardent,
sheer chaos is what you suppose to be well organised. :)
One huge cherry tree we, and if we would let them all grow there might be 30 morellos; but we let only two grow; well, and one that was so clever to grow in the shadow of the hazelnut trees, of which we have four.
You are right, like (if I am not wrong) all fruit trees the cherry trees require cross pollination.
No bees - almost no fruits.
That is why we were so glad that the bumble bee queens this spring accepted the invitation to reside in Seanhenge.
CherryPie,
guess what I am. :)
Even more seriously: Thank you.
