Flowering Currant

As I was walking along the footpath that borders the woodland I came across a couple of #Flowering #Currant bushes (Ribes sanguineum).

Schwarze Johannisbeeren.
Kopfüber geht's auch
- unten sind offenbar die Besten.

Ohne Taube ist der Zweig
eigentlich senkrecht.
Stört aber wohl nicht... 😁

I liked the contrast between the green leaves and the muted brick colours.

Two inedible shrubberies didn’t survive the winter. Today I picked up a red #currant for one of their holes, and transplanted my baby #grape to the other hole.I’m excited about the currant - I’ve never had them, even as jam, lol.
I impulse bought the grape last summer, as one does. It was the last sad grape-stick by the checkout at the orange hardware megastore, and when I picked it up and saw it was a Himrod I couldn’t stop giggling, so home it came. Himrod! That’s what a himbo would call his 🍆 in texts!
Anyway, I plopped it in a decaying wine barrel planter by the barn. It didn’t die, and even climbed its trellis a bit, but this spot on the fence will Two inedible shrubberies didn’t survive the winter.

Anyway, I plopped it in a decaying wine barrel planter by the barn. It didn’t die, and even climbed its trellis a bit, but this spot on the fence will be better for it. So I uprooted it, very much against its will, and discovered a layer of plastic plant pots at the bottom of the wine barrel. That’s my current infuriating pet peeve. Don’t hide your trash in the dirt like a fucking redneck!
Anyway, the pots are gone and I’m thinking of putting a tomato in the barrel. I bet it’s got at least one more year in it!

Forest encounter with two young white-tailed deer in their shaggy grayish winter fur.

The deer in the first photo is peering through a wild #gooseberry bush (really more a spiny #currant, likely Ribes missouriense).

#January 26, 1893
#OTD Winifred Welles, American #Poet, is born.

In her dark #Ballad, “Miss Calkins & the #Centaur,” a woman kills a #Beast while blackberry-picking.

"So far from home, so close to harm,
The #Spinster's thoughts, though stiff with fears,
Recalled the basket on her arm
& that it held her #Garden shears."

Miss Calkins keeps the murder a secret & the #Poem ends:

"Where jellies glistened, glassed & clear,
W/ #Apple-gold & #Currant-flame
No somber #Blackberry gleamed that year."

December 6: Strawberry-Red Currant Spread

Actually very delicious. To think that when I was winging away to attend the [redacted] Neuro [redacted] I could have been enjoying this jam, which is so delicious I would probably be able to solve the brain myself if they sold it in larger jars.

Heavy strawberry but delicious tart edge from little bits of currant. They are taunting us with what Rhubarb-Strawberry could have been!!!
