Can grow gooseberries round here but there is a lot that is not possible now. Plums, which for years we got more than we ate off a victoria are now stolen at blossom stage/just after by wood pigeons and pocket plum disease has now made an appearance. Cherries in a fruit cage are got by squirrels and fruit flies now. Netted strawberries all eaten by squirrels. Pears, like plums by pigeons just after flowering and any they miss, by squirrels before they ripen.
So we are left with raspberries, apples, red/black currants, gooseberries, sometimes melons and some nectarines in a polytunnel that the fruit flies miss. Oh and rhubarb.
