Gooseberries. They are sooo good arent they.
Leave some to ripen if you can resist next year and there are lots of
varieties to plant now in Autumn for harvest next year, some early, some
mid, some late. An underestimated fruit.
Greenfly can ruin them though, as can milew(?)
Get it right and you are in goosegog heaven.

Rhubarb.
Buy a crown (or from seed but wait a year to get it going) and you will
thank me for suggesting it.
Again there are earlies, mid and late varieties.

Ps.
blackcurrents for us need to be used for either jam(super) or for jellies
frozen.
