I suppose it was all the running. I just didn't spend much time in the garden this spring and summer. Normally, I would have announced the fruit season a lot earlier than this. But this year I did notice at some point that my berries were ripe, but they were almost beyond that point by the time I finally got around to harvesting them. But now I finally have! In one fell swoop I harvested the black currents. And decided to turn them into cake.

| The harvest |
I think I overdid it a bit in the berries over cake batter ratio. It wasn't a particularly good cake! But it will do.
I also have gooseberries. I will see if I have time to harvest these as well, and turn them as well into cake. And the next thing will normally be plums, but this year the plum tree is seriously not feeling it. So then the waiting is for the apple tree. And that has a stronger appeal. I suppose this year my garden fruit will end up feeling a bit underappreciated!
