Generous, the currant \u2018Red Lake\u2019 (Ribes rubrum) holds out its bunches like bags of candy that are waved in front of children\u2019s eyes. Of an attractive red, they are larger than the average currant. Young and old alike enjoy their abundant juice, sour and tasty, refreshing in the July heat. Picked whole on thornless stems, the abundant ruby \u200b\u200bbunches are enjoyed fresh or placed like barley sugars on a bucolic dessert. Without thorns. <\/p>\n

Sometimes fearing heat that can harm fruit setting, they find a balance in a shaded environment, preferring a rich and very fresh soil, minimally covered with a biodegradable mulch that will limit evaporation and retain runoff rain. <\/p>\n
