.... actually they are green at the moment! ;D
The question is: when do I need to get the nets on them? Would kind of like to get a crop for me rather than the birds!
Net them now!
Bird can and will eat your currants long before us humans can.
I netted mine over a week ago! ;)
Righto - thanks ! Those and the strawberries will be on my list of jobs for tomorrow! :) I only put the redcurrants in the winter before last so this will be my first fruiting - so looking forward to it!
Pigeons love them and the pigeons are so fat down our way that they break all the branches when they sit on them ;D
I learnt the hard way and made a fruit cage ;D
It's a swings and roundabouts thing... we have four bushes and yes the birds take some but we still get far more than we can ever use... :-\
