What is your favourite fruit?

Currants

From the Ribes currant family I prefer the Red currant for making pies. However I also grow Black currants R nigrum for the intense flavour. They bear fruit from new shoots made the previous year so prune some old wood in winter.
I have just tried White currants last year and they are similar in cultivation to Red currants but need little or no pruning.

Soft Fruit

• I have just planted a new bed of strawberries. My previous attempts were in a shady place and didn’t excel. This time I have tried a variety called Loran plus a dozen plants from my brother in law type unknown. The plants have had three wet weeks to get established and by the end of next month will be ready for the winter rest.
• Raspberries were not brilliant this year but made 18 jars of jam. Many of the canes are up against a hedge and therefore short of water much of the year so I am content with the result.
• It is a long time since I grew Loganberries and I pick wild blackberries again for pies
• A thornless Blackberry may be suitable for a child friendly garden
