literally all I do when I plant current cuttings is make a slit in the grass with a shovel and stick a stick with some roots starting on it into the ground. works almost every time.

I cant wait to get my dad to take me over to get the current cuttings from my mommy's old current bushes. They are black but i do not know what type they are, other than free, to my momma and free to me and thats the best kind. They have been growing in north central arkansas for 60yrs or so...

Thank you for your video on growing black consort currants. I am growing in zone 6b and recently received 2 cuttings back at the end of March. I am still learning my new grow zone.

So "au courant", so then much thanks for directing my planting. I just decided to plant them near where other currents are already thriving, that gets consistent water.

Always good to observe where things are already flourishing and go with that energy, that’s Permaculture in a nutshell

@@permacultureninja Yes, like commencing reforesting from the edge of extant stands of forest. Hence why we in BC should stop deforestation, stop decimating healthy stands before we turn Earth into a moonscape.

I was in zone 7b, but the new zones came out and am now in 8a. Already have my consort coming this spring. My jostaberry lived while my Ben more black did not.

I learned a lot from your book, thanks for getting me started on a better way of gardening and supporting a healthy planet. I live in Carroll County, MD. and planted 4 black currant bushes 4 years ago. Every spring they go bonkers with beautiful blooms, so stunning ... and then nothing, no fruit. Should I cut them all back to a few inches, or get new plants, or? I'm not sure what variety they are, they were cuttings from a friend who gets loads of berries. Thanks for any help you can offer.
