Raspberries - very good (best year for these ones yet)
Really good crop, as usual.

Strawberries - hit and miss
Total of 24 plants, cropping beautifully. Still picking and fruit
still developing. Have a squirrel trying to beat the netting but so
far he's been defeated.

Blackcurrants - poor (were goign well, then shrivelled on the stem!)
Reasonable crop given it's the bush's first fruiting year.

Apples - so-so (nice, but not a heavy crop)
A single, small apple

Plus:

Plums - not expecting any as it's a new tree but the tree has grown
nicely and is about to be netted to protect the buds from resident
bird population.

Pears - zilch.

Blueberries - zilch (they were "guaranteed" to fruit this year)

Cherries - a decent crop from what was a freebie little twig last year
(and I wasn't sure what it was until it fruited this year, still don't
know what variety it is). Morello cherry tree has snuffed it.

Grapes - plenty of little bunches on red vine but they have not
developed. Nothing on green vine. Last year the red didn't fruit at
all but the green gave us about half-a-dozen lovely sweet bunches.
