Blackcurrants

Have replaced the rhubarb in the border by the hedge and will produce clusters of fruit from June until August, have added a few redcurrant plants as well. There’s an increase in the number of flies on the poo picked from the paddocks so the cold nights aren’t stopping them multiplying, the sheep have been dosed so are protected from fly strike, and the donkeys are having a daily application of citronella spray. Lunch in the marquee at The Baker Arms, a cold sunny start to the day with a fresh easterly breeze.
