Jen&Rog Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 ... gooseberries! It's been a constant battle against the caterpillars ever since I got my little fruit bush, but the almost daily inspections have paid off this year. And I thought gooseberries would be easy to grow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 In a village called Goostery, not too far from me - they have a Goosefest. Judging of the best gooseberries!!! They are put in little boxes & everything! http://www.goostrey.info/ Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 We used some of ours in an ice cream flavoured with elderflowers We have lost all of the leaves on our Jostaberry which is a gooseberry blackcurrant cross and our redcurrant bushes in the garden at home to the sawfly , but the ones at the allotment have never been touched and we have 3 huge gooseberry bushes there. We thought that we had squashed all the caterpillars earlier in the year but we turned our backs and there has obviously been a second coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
