New fruit bed - what to choose?

[AChickenCalledKorma]

We have a 3m by 1m raised bed in the front garden that we have decided to make into a permanent space for soft fruit.

We definitely want a rhubarb in there. We also have a couple of raspberry canes that we'd transplant.

What else would you put in there? I'd love a gooseberry bush ... or possibly a redcurrant ... or a blackberry. But I don't really know what I'm doing and I realise there won't be space for all three!

There is aleady thornless blackberry in the back garden, so we are quite well off for berries.

What about strawberries? They are easy to grow and varieties fruit June and July. Super yummy too. We don't grow blackberries, just go picking them in the fields!

If you've only got three square metres, then really you've just got space for three crops. Rhubarb in one square metre, your raspberry canes in another, and something else in the third. A gooseberry bush is a good choice, or personally I love red currants. Then you could grow strawberries around the edges as they don't need much space.
