Thanks so much, Clifford, for posting the photos and letting us know where we 
might see them.  Few of us in the United States have seen such splendid 
gooseberry specimens because many of those cultivars are susceptible to 
American gooseberry mildew.  However, European-bred redcurrants do well here. 
 In fact, one of my favorites (for high yield and long strigs) is the English 
cultivar Redstart.  Many of us also appreciate the special flavor of the 
Dutch cultivar Jonkheer van Tets.  There is also a growing appreciation of 
blackcurrants, particularly in the parts of the USA that do not have such 
terribly hot summers.  -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.

Subject: [NAFEX] OT - Pot leeks and some of the fruit and veg on display at 
Gateshead Summer Flower Show, UK

For those who expressed an interest, I have posted a number of pictures 
on Flickr of the display I staged at the show along with pictures of the 
veg (not mine I hasten to add).
Managed to stage 21 cultivars of Gooseberry which was pleasing to say 
the least.

They are all in a set
