Del, it seems the semishaded situation and the soil would lend itself well to currants or gooseberries or perhaps summer-bearing raspberries. Bush cherries or some other small fruits that ripen early in summer might also be an option in a short-season location such as yours. Another thing you might consider is taking out some of the trees that are shading this choice spot. Above all, keep the rows aligned with the slope to help cold air drain through your planting. -- Sam
