    Morning all.

    I have black, red and white currant bushes, all of which have produced a small crop this year.

    The blackcurrant bush has produced currants that are almost black.
    The redcurrant bush has produced currants that are red.
    The white currant bush has produced currants that are.... red.:scratch:

    Any ideas why that might be?

      Humour aside, any real ideas why my 'white currants' are red? Simple case of mis-labelling perhaps?
