Currants and Gooseberries
Ribes includes the currants, including the edible currants (blackcurrant, redcurrant and whitecurrant), gooseberries, and many ornamental plants. The Jostaberry is a gooseberry/blackcurrant hybrid. Currants make wonderful sauces as well as wild life forage, while gooseberries make great pies and hedge rows to keep pesky critters out, (extreemly thorny!)
