Forcing fruit can mean double delight, says Bob.

DON’T we so look forward to enjoying those first fruits of summer? That first strawberry of summer is just divine. Then each of the other fruits arrives, each in its own time – the blueberries, raspberries and so on until in autumn come the grapes. Wonderful.

But would it not be even better if you could enjoy all these even earlier? Well, you can. It’ simple, all you need is somewhere light under cover – ideally, a proper greenhouse or plastic tunnel – but just a bright bay window can serve.
