  1. A couple of years ago, I got two gooseberries from Lidl and planted them in our garden. I check them periodically, and saw that there are flowers, which, it seems, survived last week's low night temperatures. Today I noticed that besides the normal gooseberry flowers, there are some yellow ones. What are they? PlantNet says golden currant? But how? Was the currant used as the basis and the gooseberry grafted on it? If so, cool, double fruit bush 😍

  2. A competition for the heaviest #gooseberry was held in #Cheshire NW #England.

    The winning entry was 28 pennyweight and 17 grains (this is 43,54 + 1,10g = 44,64g)

    1 pennyweight = 1,555g, there are 24 grains in a pennyweight

  3. Does anyone have any #gooseberry recipes that they can share? We have more than we can shake a stick at this year...

  4. The red #gooseberry is giving less fruit than last year, but they are slowly getting ready to harvest. Maybe two more days.

  5. Been trapped all day in the 'dead zone' of a #rally stage. Some people call this sport. I call it hostage taking in a #climatecrisis. Still, got to make some #gooseberry #vodka and #blackcurrant cordial.

  6. #asking for #advice #gardening how to prune #gooseberry bush to boost fruit yield? My plant is quite vigorous but got only a few small fruits of harvest this season. I counted them: 7 in total.
    🙏🙏🙏 Than you mastogardeners!!

  7. Forest encounter with two young white-tailed deer in their shaggy grayish winter fur.

    The deer in the first photo is peering through a wild #gooseberry bush (really more a spiny #currant, likely Ribes missouriense).
