 Hi Steve,  :D
                     Good to hear from you again,  ;D A bit confused reference your pruning of the blackurrant bush. As I understand it , you prune out any 3 year old wood, leaving behind younger growth to crop next year, you seem to have pruned out all the wood as if you are regenerating the bush. Surely looking at the picture you are not going to get any fruit next year ??? Please correct me if I`m wrong.
                    Cheers

                    Adrian.

Welcome back Steve.

Congratulations on your new additions, nothing better than walking down your garden to collect your own eggs. I've got four young girls laying for me...

Hello Adrian, many thanks for pointing out the error of my ways, you are quite right about me rejuvinating my Blackcurrant bushes they will take until the year after next to produce a full crop for me, I have ammended my website accordingly, regards Steve
