The fruit plot

I took delivery of two 'Invicta' gooseberry plants and 10 'Albion' strawberry runners today. I'd prepared the soil yesterday but annoyingly it must have rained quite a bit overnight and it was very 'claggy' and quite difficult to plant into. However (apart from a row of alpine strawberries which are on order) my fruit plot is now complete with raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, blackcurrants, redcurrants and gooseberries. Next to this is the small orchard with five varieties of apple and the crab apple 'John Downie'. Our own fruit was something we really missed last summer.
