Many thanks granny grump, kept thinking of sisters but didn't know a plant by that name! Found sept 11ths pinch the girl too. Can't get the other two though, will keep trying!
Thanks again :)

MallyH has answered number 4 for you.

Thanks Mallyh and quiz prow. I'd just managed to discover sly could be informally known as 'fly' but hadn't got the green part, thank you. Yep, got no. 3 thanks, just can't get 'pinch the fruit' yet...thanks very much for your help

Got it! Think of a fool (pudding)

Split the word in half and think of it as two separate words

Thanks quizproquo, we've been through all of the berries, but couldn't make gooseberry fit 'pinch'?
