What new fruits are people trying next year?

I'm trying a 'honeyberry' next year. Mostly 'cos I found one in the end of year clearance at a local garden centre for £3.

Also because it supposedly tastes like blueberries, which just slowly and miserably die at my soil, even with extra ericaceous compost and rotted bark and coddling. It can't do much worse.

we got two honeyberry bushes planted out now so hoping for a fruit next year....

I have not seen any mention of "Jostaberries" a cross between black currants and gooseberry.
They are very prolific, and as far as blueberries and Jostaberries are concerned. I had to net the jostaberries as the birds stripped one bush and left the blueberries alone.!!!

I'm most excited about trying melons for the first time - I've got two short season varieties so we'll see if I get any fruit.

Also have some blueberries, cape gooseberries (from a James Wong branded packet iirc ), tomatillos, blackcurrants, redcurrants, and alpine strawberries.

I also intend to get the nets over my gooseberry bushes early enough to actually get to taste them - two years in a row I've lost the entire crop to the birds.

fuschia berries and Tayberry are my new fruit this year and I'm trying again with cranberries, I've had two die and this is the last one I'm trying it seems happy enough in the house, its putting out new growth so I guess I just need to harden it off without killing it and find a spot in the garden it will like.

Cranberries basically need to grow in a bog - very wet and acidic. They'll die if they dry out.

Maybe that's why they keep drying I'll make sure I give them loads of water, I was aware of the acidic thing they were planted in ericaceous compost. Thanks for the advice.
