Aside from the polytunnel trauma, we managed to get some currant bushes planted. Two black and one red. Varietals are 'Red Lake' for the redcurrant and 'Wellington XXX' and 'Boskoop Giant' for the black. Spacing is probably a little tighter than advised at around 4', but should be OK, all a bit of an experiment.
Pruned the existing redcurrant bush, taking out all the oldest wood and downward facing branches - looks better (he says) and will hopefully encourage new growth this year. The other two bushes, guessing they must be blackcurrant, are already budding, so I thought it best to leave as is. Looking forward to summer fruit pudding already!
