Lovely fruit Andrew. Those raspberries and blackberries look fantastic. I wish I could bring the clotted cream but there is no such thing over here!! Honestly! They don't know what they are missing over here. :o(

Yummy fruit Andrew...especially those raspberries!

R U tantilising digger LMAO . Your berries look wonderful good for the eyes too, the pear tree mmmm I planted one 3 yrs ago not one pear, I hope I don't have to wait for 19yrs The cape gooseberry I will have without clotted cream. what kind of taste do these have

He is, isn't he Morgana. Lol

I think he certainly is Ian, shame on him lol, he might not answer my question now oh well never mind he he he

Pear trees - these take several years before they start to bear fruit (usually reckon about ten years) hence the saying, 'Plant pears for your heirs. ' So the longer mine went without fruiting, the more inclined I was to leave them rather than plant new ones and wait another ten years. And you need two different varieties, that flower at the same time, to get any fruit (like apples).
The Cape gooseberry has a very sweet taste (which I don't like) so they are just for ornament

Gilli - I grew up in Devon so we had clotted cream every weekend - mmmmm

All that fruit & some home made pastry, fruitpies yummy, yummy, with custard, or fresh cream.

Cape gooseberries are supposed to make very tasty jam.

Thank you Andrew for the advice and answering about the cape gooseberry.

I like to grow fruit - more than vegetables. You have some nice looking ones.
