    Guzzgogs looking good, these will turn red and get quite big if the moths caterpillars don't eat the leaves, squashing them by hand as we don't have any Blue Tits to eat them this year.

      These are now a nice pink and very tasty, I've had my first pick of these stewed with some Stevia sweetener(I'm sugar/glucose intolerant) with quark and a home made scone. Had some black currents and strawberries too.

            Thanks, it was tipping it down with rain, but the cheeky pair kept on eating them. Just noticed there's no berries on the Honey Berry next to it, shall have to cover those next year.
