Guys! My red currant has little berries!

Also, a plant identifier said that the vine I don’t know what it is is most likely black currant, which I can see Mommy planting, or a grape, which I can’t. So we’ll see.

It also said the ragweed probably isn’t, but the important thing is it gives me a rash and takes over and I hate it and it needs to go, not whether I’m right in my identification!

Ooooooh! What plant identifier are you using? Is it an app? I squee! *makes grabby hands, metaphorically, at the possible app*

I didn't know black currant even grew in North America with any reliability!

Black currant is non-native and was banned nationwide until the past 30 years or so due to disease concerns. It's still banned in some states for agricultural reasons.

There are apparently a few vining cultivars, though really, I'm not sure this is it. I should try this app on plants I know what they are, see how accurate it is.

What app are you using?

Re black currant: I did not know about the ban! Makes sense, if it's a non-native invasive.
