They're nice for flavour, don't ask me to wax lyrical, I don't have the
descriptive powers. And no, I don't know what variety, other than the free
variety. :-)) Sorry

True, but I posted that because the OP dismissed blackberries, and I
considered it relevant. I would say that now is a good time to plant new
stock because the soil hasn't got cold and soggy yet, but that's the voice
of logic rather than expertise speaking.


And incidentally, does anyone know of a thornless gooseberry? I wouldn't
mind some of those.
