From the looks of the early fruitset I will have an excellent crop of gooseberries and currants this year. The early fruit is almost the size of marbles and all other varieties (approx 50 varieties gooseberries) indicate a heavy fruitset.

Red currants are in full bloom and have a very heavy bloom. Blacks are the same.

I remind all that I have an "Open House" the Saturday after the 4th of July, all are invited.
