The number of becoming-berries on the redcurrants this year is about
20x as many as last year. Even the new cuttings are trying to fruit
this year! Why are they so prolific this year? I did prune it over
winter, though not as much as is generally recommended. Anything I can
do to help as many as possible ripen?

It gets sun from about 1pm on, and we're in the mild south

I don't know the answer but the blackcurrant in our garden, as with
gooseberries is a bumper flower. What comes next? The winds have not
knocked them off too serverely as the polinators. Wait and see? I don't
know.
