Blackcurrant

Most years I have enough blackcurrants to eat and have some years made a few jars of jam. I am not overly keen on making jam as I use a lot of sugar, though I use a lot of sugar anyway but even more is even more questionable.

I've been eating some 100g for a few days, Today 4th July 25 I collected 200 berries weighing 300g from a relatively small bush, a newish plant and many of the berries probably weighed 2g. Will probably collect more today and make some jam.

Raspberries

For the last decode or two I have had no success in cultivating raspberries and had just about given up until today 30th June 25 when I notice a good handful on two cutting I planted a few years ago. So now I will plant out a couple of more this winter. Raspberries I could eat all day.

Strawberries

Again they have not produced and all but given up, but will maybe make a very special bed for them ????
