Not that easy really. Reversing the seasons and working out…..is this goning to work in my sub tropical climate? But I am really happy to subscribe and learn………Anyone got any sub tropical tips for me?

Just found you on YouTube and already subscribed. Thanks for the informative tutorials. To the list of soft fruit I'd add Japanese wineberry. Easy to grow. Mine are on a north-facing wall with morning sun and crop well. I love the taste of the berries.
Do you have to wait a year after planting strawberries and blackberries before you can harvest them?
I have red gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes at the moment but am deciding wether or not to have Apple and plum trees planted I've moved from growing veg to growing fruit.
I have an Embankment of a garden which was full of trees and I have now cleared I have planted fruit trees in it it's about 6 to 8 feet sloping Embankment and about 30 feet long with a retaining wall of 4 to 5 feet high I was wondering could I grow soft fruits to grow down the wall and if so what kind.
Tayberries are great. They outcompete and send out lots of runners so it's good contained
Try the honeyberry/haskap berry. Grows in poor soil and can tolerate nearly full shade.
Does anyone have any idea what blackberries are cropping up in Wiltshire about now? Small fruits, round clusters of very small drupelets, unusually firm when ripe and flowering as late as the very end of October when I last checked, so bearing fruit well into November. Notably different to the other varieties growing around it that were done by the end of September.
This is so helpful… I decided to go all in with the perennials this year, so I chose gooseberries, loganberries, a raspberry, and a blueberry… And just decided to add goji to the mix! There are so many beautiful fruit-bearing perennial ground covers, too, like creeping dogwood and creeping wintergreen!

Hi. I live in the Highlands of Scotland where it gets very cold. Can I grow my soft fruits in containers in my greenhouse
I have a little 1.5ft blackcurrant bush I've been training and growing since the end of may and it's not got any fruit? I heard they are renown for not producing fruit? Is mine too young at the moment? I was told it's Black current but it has pink little spines all over the branches? I can't figure out what it is, as far as I am aware black currant has no thorns, my plant looks identical except mines has pink fury prickly stems?
