Strawberries and soft fruit in general

Strawberries have been very productive but not very tasty so far. Elsanta is definitely getting ripped out at the end of the year, the taste I find completely watery and awful. The birds have been pecking at the fruit which escape the netting, though even they don't seem to like Elsanta.

Blackcurrant (Titania) gave a decent harvest for its first year of fruiting. Don't particularly like the taste on their own but they're nice mixed with other berries and yoghurt.

Blueberries are starting to ripen now, as always I find them tricky to pick at peak ripeness (slightly under ripe can be a bit tart).

Gooseberries have been smothered by other plants so they'll probably be dug out and put into pots for next year. Turns out they're both Hinnomaki Red instead of one red/one green, obviously someone at Aldi switched the labels. Not too fussed about eating them so the birds are welcome to have a peck.
