New blackcurrent, blueberry and some honeyberries

Initially we were intending to clear a separate area to have soft fruit. But over the years we have discovered that we don't have the time at the moment to clear or maintain more area. We currently have rhubarb, raspberries and strawberries that we get fruit from, and a black currant and a blueberry that are not producing yet - they take a few years to get going.

We have added another two blueberries and a black currant and two honey berries (related to honeysuckle but not poisonous - apparently they taste somewhat like blueberries but fruit much earlier). They will take a few years before we get fruit from them so it was good to get them in. Hopefully we can manage to keep them weed free-ish, we didn't manage that last summer with the blueberry and it is a bit stunted now.


Crazy - a pink blueberry!!!
