At the risk of this becoming heated.....my French beans are like triffids this year, falling over currants and cherries but this years epic fail is blueberries (late Spring cold plus hail maybe.)
Over to the rest of you boring old and prematurely old folk!

Fruit and veg growing successes and failures.... on 11:42 - Jul 17 by BanksterDebtSlave
I am eating the first of our purple gooseberries right now....bloody luvverly they are too, masses of them as well! Thinking of offering free p.y.o. on the currants as still have frozen from last year too.
Gooseberries are pointless, foul tasting and furry. My neighbour has gooseberry bushes growing along a wall and I once made the mistake of saying I loved a gooseberry and now get a shed load every year. This year he has informed me he has had a plague of the gooseberry caterpillar which has right enough eaten all the leaves but not the green furry useless fruit. When I asked if he has seen the little rascals in action he said don't be silly, as they attack at approx 3 am in the morning. Nature ehh, in his defense he has some lovely rhubarb and blackberries each year too. Sorry if this is you BDS BTW.

I like gooseberries but am yet to try any from my solitary (healthy) plant.
The birds get to the fecker every single time before I do.
