Are you getting blueberry and black currant mixed up? Blackcurrants
need no pollinator and are setting fruit now, but blueberries are much
later so I'm surprised you have a heavy crop already. My blueberries are
only just flowering.


Be surprised then. They don't all *need* another pollinator. (They may
produce more with one of course) And my two small bushes are laden with
fruit without any other plants in the neighbourhood, still green, but
blueing off nicely.


The first raspberries have been picked, and the first blackcurrants are
ready - still a fair number of unripe ones though. Redcurrants are almost
all red and almost perfectly ripe.


I stopped pulling rhubarb three weeks ago and now have to be careful not
to disturb the heffalumpses and bower constructors when I use the front
gate.

Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar.
