The other day, while taking this photograph, I realized I had never smelled the flowers. So I did. As you can imagine they bear the subtle scent of black currants.
If you get a chance, I suggest you try it.

Gooseberry Thorns
The gooseberry bush I am growing in my community garden plot is just beginning to put out leaves. The thorns are rather intimidating.
More of this plant here.

I planted this gooseberry bush in my community garden plot last fall. The bush was an impulse purchase, on sale at a local garden store at a price I couldn’t ignore. I hemmed and hawed at the store, uncertain about whether I wanted to commit permanent space to a small bush. And now that it is starting to produce tiny fruit I think that question is answered by my excitement in imagining future jars of jam. Now if we could just find the space for a black currant bush I’d be in jam heaven.
