I managed to snag 3 large tables (for free) from my garden centre...they're closing in June for a refurbishment, so were clearing things out. We bought two fence panels and they were kind enough to deliver the tables - hefty things that we could never have transported home.

Exactly...now to keep things growing without killing them is my next challenge!;)

I'm going to have my worst ever crop of blackcurrants this year due to the drought during the currant forming period :-(.
I'm probably going to have to actually BUY some jam this year, my crop will be far too small to make enough jam to last for a year.

But oddly, Flatlander, I have more blackcurrant berries on my bushes than for several years! Maybe they've finally grown up . . .

Last week we finally managed to finish the 2015 blackcurrants in the freezer. Just 2016 to go............

Blackcurrant jam is my absolute favourite.
(after Seville orange marmalade, but I can't grow those)

If a jam shortage is predicted I can dig into my stash from the days when I had a little jam business and supply friendly Fetchies...

You could be on to a winner there, Wobbling.
