The UK climate is perfect for growing berries, and although you can buy them year-round in the supermarket, the sweet summer fruits are a highlight of the British growing calendar. Strawberries and raspberries may get all the limelight, but it’s also worth looking out for tayberries or loganberries ( hybrids of raspberries and blackberries) and gooseberries at your local pick-yourown farm, or farmers’ market. Don’t forget to forage the brambles in your local area for blackberries, too.
