I have a blueberry plant, had it a few years and get loads from it! My son's mad about blueberries so it's pretty handy. I planted a loganberry last year and noticed it has fruit this year  Nearly ripped it out by accident thinking it was a bramble!
There are strawberries and little alpine strawberries out there too
My mum has a little orchard at hers, apples and victoria plums, I love raiding her garden in summer |

"What are you growing? "
Awesome variety  you have at hand.
Pear and plum trees, had cherry and apple trees the dwarf kind along with a lovely grape vine untill the new dog decided to play chew with them 0_o Gooseberry also only eat them when really ripe.
Have potatoes growing in car tyres lol peas and runner beans, not exotic i know 
Have eaten wild strawberries before and tiny as they are the flavour is great, bet those alpine ones are nice |

The bear cub loves to grow his own fruit, he's got raspberries, alpine strawberries, normal strawberries and this year we're trying for blueberries and tomatoes. I've got a russet tree and a red gooseberry bush. Need more fruit trees but they have to grow in containers as I've run out of garden  |

I got mine from Ribena. They may still offer it, try getting in touch. They sent me a shoot. 2 yrs later it was flowering. And hasn't stopped. |

Yes I've got an old Apple Tree at the bottom of my garden. I had a bit of a mini orchard going at my previous house - egg plums, Victoria plums. Green gages (my favourite), apples, pears, strawberries and gooseberries. It was a massive garden though. |

"We have 3 apple trees, 2 fruit trees, about 10 fruit bushes, strawberry plants.
That sounds lovely, cannot beat your own home grown fruit/veg "
It should have read ... 2 pear trees not 2 fruit trees ... !
Yes its great eating produce we have grown. We also have tomato plants and rhubarb growing too. |

I have Apple , pear and cherry trees in my garden. They are all starting to show fruit. To much for just me so come Autumn my grandson takes most of the fruit to the village school to share with the other kids at break time. |

i have a cherry tree, they don't fruit every year but we've had a couple of years of fruit off it.
apple tree as well, every year it produces a lot of apples. usually green ones but last year we had red and green on the same tree. found that strange but i guess it might be something to do with how it was pollenated? |

I moved into my current place in December. I have an apple tree, a pear tree and a plum tree.
I can see the apples and pears starting to form. Sadly the other tree has leaves but no fruit forming (so I can't see my plums). |

Plum trees overhanging from next door. Raspberry canes, gooseberry bushes, strawberries and blueberries, they are not so successful. Now eating new potatoes from our garden and growing tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. Can't beat eating your own produce, fresh from the garden! |

We've got 2 cherry trees, 3 pears, a fig, two currant bushes - can't remember if they're black or red, and loads of strawberries. Am currently wondering where the heck I'm going to put 20 sweetcorn plants that are growing like mad. |

You too eh? Every year mine has so much fruit. Small and green at the moment.
Also have strawberries and every herb under the sun.
Used to grow tomatoes and cucumbers but haven't for a couple of years. The crops weren't that great but could have been my inexperience
