Raspberries, bilberries, gooseberries, red and black currants, all of which grow well in this climate. We have a couple of apple trees planted by a previous owner; but they're not very good varieties. I don't bother with strawberries, as they're so plentiful and good in the market.
The neighbourhood woods are carpeted with wild lingonberries and bilberries. There are even a few of my favourite cloudberries, although you have to go a couple of hundred kilometres north to find masses of them. In summer forest owners bring in hundreds of berry pickers from Thailand to harvest them.
Looking out at the snowy landscape right now, with more heavy snow forecast for tomorrow, thinking of all those fruits is making my mouth water. Excuse me folks while I go to the freezer. Sticking tongue out
