Yeah we had a small amount of blueberries too. Pretty good but not nearly enough.

Only thing close here so far is Strawberry. Lots of fruit set though. The Saskatoon berry and Prime Ark Freedom are flowering nicely. First season on the Raspberry, but it's growing like a champ. I'm starting to become addicted to berries.... Like I needed something else

Totally! I added 5 berry varieties this year.
What's really disappointing is that it looks like late frosts killed most of my blueberry and sour cherry blossoms. Two cherry trees have no more than a dozen green berries.... and that's from hundreds, if not thousands, of flowers I saw a few weeks ago. So, the more varieties you have, the better, I suppose.
My currants, gooseberries, haskaps, strawberries, and most raspberries are looking good, though.

This is my Boysenberry today. I'd never seen boysenberry flowers before today. They look very different from raspberry or blackberry flowers. Very large, too.
Is a boysenberry like a blackberry or more like a mulberry that grows like a bush?

It looks more like a blackberry. It has a similar trailing growth habit. It needs support for sure.
