Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We spent all Sunday morning (P, me and Tom) picking blackcurrants from the Rosendal bushes. We got about half way and we already have over 20 kgs...
This evening, back in Espoo, we used the mehu-maija (juicer) to make about a dozen bottles of slightly sweetened blackcurrant syrup (Ribena to you and me). I have also mixed up some currants and sugar with an old bottle of glögi (the boozey variety) for a Christmassy drink. And we put about 15 litres of currants in the freezer. Tomorrow P will go and pick the remainder (about another 20 kgs...) Next year we will have to sell some, assuming we have similar quantities because we have way too many for our own consumption.
