    How are Black Currants to be harvested?
    My red currants all get ripe at the same time but my black currants ripen one-at-a-time.  They get ripe, then fall off and dry up.  I've been picking them every second day for over a month and it has become such a time waster that I'm seriously thinking about grubbing them out and planting something else.
    But then, the Canadians say that it is a farm crop so am I doing something wrong?  How does anyone else harvest black currants (I have Ben Sarac, Ben Alder and Crandell).
