Topic: have I enough room??

[wilko]

Hi all,
I'd like to grow some blackcurrants and gooseberries or raspberries,but do I have enough room to make it worth while? the space I can spare is approx 10-11'x 6-7' I've done a search for yields etc, so please forgive me if I'm going over old ground here, but what is the average yield per bush for each of them, and what spacing do they require?

I never weigh anything or measure anything I grow so I can't be specific.

But this bed which is 12ft x 4ft consisting of 1 Gooseberry, 2 Blackcurrants and 12 Raspberry keeps me and my wife in sufficient sweet meats (fruit pies /crumbles etc) throughout the year.

Add to this my apple trees and strawberry bed we are well supplied.

But thats not enough to say that everyone else would be satified with this amount;

Just put em in and if they get overcrowded just take some of em out
