        heres a pic of the gooseberry area
        6 plants across by 9 rows down
        on the plot
        row of my own bred japenese wineberry (seem to handle cold a little better than the original I bought )
        then the gooseberry area, beyond that row of hybrid berries then a strawberry bed (moschatas, chiloensis, virginiana type strawberrys) then rhubarb patch around 20 varieties, then my polytunnel housing all my American imports and peach trees and any ltttle experiments im doing
        enjoy stew

              Do you just grow fruit on your plot?

                Wow.. what a lot of fruit... What do you do with it all? I presume you make some jam...
                I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

                  thank you, they all my favourites in different ways, the albino blackcurrant for instance was imported from France, a favourite due to its rank taste, Every time I go past it I eat a few berries do a twitchy little dance due to flavour just to ensure the berries haven't improved in any way

                        How do you keep the birds from devouring the lot?
