    Same here; year two also. Most of mine cropped in the summer, but it looks like some of the new growth is fruiting now.
    Was wondering if I have a mix of summer & autumn varieties.
    Strange thing is the birds are not touching the few that have appeared now, even though I removed the net a few weeks ago.
    Will see how they go next year.

    I think there is plenty for the birds to eat at the moment. I have berries on my holly tree at the moment, but its very unlikely there will be any by Christmas!

    Maybe plenty, but nothing nicer than raspberries :)

    Mine are the autumn variety, third year. I had a good bit of fruit in early summer this year which surprised me, and for the last few weeks I've had loads. Maybe it depends on the weather, I think last year it only started in late summer/ autumn.
