    Hey,

    I have recently bought a house and as part of it got my self a little fruit patch. :)

    We seem to have Red/Black Currants coming up and some other berry (not sure which). Is there anything I need to do to help them along? feed, put net over them, prune them etc??

    I've new to gardening but really enjoyed the rhubarb we got, so aim to keep it going?

    Also, is there any veg that should be planted around this time?

    Thanks for the info!!!

    Now is not the time to prune! You can clear any weeds from around them and water. You might have a problem with birds eating the fruit so you may need to pick up some netting to cover the plants. Also check out the food forum for ideas.
