Seems to get covered in a kind of caterpillar every year too so not sure if they are eating the fruit before it grows? We have had amazing raspberries though and pick them most days for our breakfast with yoghurt. Ive made a crumble tonight some apricots and plums that were very ripe and padded it out with some raspberries. We had a big bowl each for tea with custard. Delicious!

I bought some blackcurrant "twigs" from a discount shop earlier in the year but they are only doing "so so". They look like they have been eaten a little by something and have not grown that much (but they are still alive so I have hope - perhaps next year for fruit).Louise Stopfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151477784515959764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-80960888482748207842017-07-05T13:21:09.728+01:002017-07-05T13:21:09.728+01:00Our gooseberry bush is 2 years old and hubby accid...Our gooseberry bush is 2 years old and hubby accidentally snapped a huge piece off!
