@Mactonex My favorite time of day to harvest red currants is at sunset, picking them off the bush in bunches and holding them up so that the setting sun's light shines through them like stained glass.
Arrgggghh. So nice ! Mine were all eaten by the pigeons. They loot everthing in the neighborhood 5x a day. They take them when they are green with a blush of yellow (when they taste like pure acid to me)
