This has been a wonderful year for soft fruit. My strawberries have
cropped wonderfully well, and provided many pickings of fruit. My
loganberries and black currants have also done very well. I am now
waiting on the autumn fruiting raspberries, and they look very good at
the present.

Our currants are doing well, and I've had a couple of really nice
raspberries already from the autumns (or else there are a couple of
summers accidentally planted in with them - except the autumns were
all cut down to ground this winter, so summers should /not/ be in
fruit this year!)

The strawberries were going well, but then they got too damp during
the fruiting season, so after one or two really nice pickings, they
all went to mush and started picking up mould. :-(
