How's the harvest

RE: How's the harvest
Being my first year of growing food and not quite sure of what I'm doing or am suppose to do!
Planted lots of bushes.

Raspberries; not bad from just one x 12 stems planted
Blackberries; x 2, not bad, bit of a mix
Gooseberries; x3, obliterated by caterpillars - will they survive?
Currents; x3, practically nothing.
grape, gojiberry, + 2 blueberry; planted late, lets see next year.

As for veg:

Carrots; half eaten by slugs
Runners; I let the seeds get water logged and those that survived the slugs tried to destroy. Still had a small crop though.
Broccoli two types; Both attacked by slugs and caterpillars, one will harvest next spring, the other will make good compost.
Greens - Spinach substitute; Attacked by slugs but survived well.

White Radish, Rocket, lettuce and turnip; Planted quite late in a raised bed - seem to be doing well.
