I live in Southern Minnesota 4b. I am currently really excited about my wetland gardens, my rain gardens, my mini orchard, and perennial vegetables.

My cuttings are starting to open.
Early Winter 2019
This is my favorite cultivar of black currants: Chernaya Lisovenko. They remained white pine blister rust free when most of my ribes had it two years ago. I am trying to wait patiently to take some cuttings. Argh. Winter is just to long. Although maple syrup season is two or three months away!
Do you make black currant jelly/jam? I'm thinking of planting a couple of sugar maples this year. Love their fall colour!
@gjones I made some raspberry, black currant, blackberry. It was fantastic. I only have silver maples. I use those. I get a high sugar sap out of them. They are in a swamp location so maybe that helps.

Thinking of starting some #blackcurrant . I'll watch for updates!
@ewhayden they are very easy to grow. These are the branches I pruned a month ago. They start very easy from cuttings. I buy only ones that are immune to WPBR. We have had that in town. The city finally took out the white pine that was infected.
Thanks @laketitlow I'm definitely going to look for some.
