This morning I picked these gooseberries from 2 small bushes in my garden.
I'm very pleased as I've wanted to grow gooseberries for a while as we had a gooseberry bush when I was a child so I have happy memories of picking some for a crumble. Which sounds a very nice option now.
I also have a large raspberry bush that has its first raspberries coming into fruit so I've something else to look forward to real soon.
Growing our own fruit and veg is unbeatable as its fresh and organic and its the most wholesome option as we are what we eat.
Thatโs a good crop of gooseberries Jerry, we had gooseberry bushes when I was a child and I remember how sweet they were. If you can pick your own fruit and veg. and eat it soon after, it still contains most of the nutrients, unlike bought which often has a short use by date. Some of mine in todayโs delivery has a use by date of the 12th. ๐
My friend just sent this sorry if not appropriate on a fruit post but it looks so nice it's for her daughter's birthday she made it herself ๐คI hope to bake again when my house sorted much healthier than shops I don't use much sugar and use cold pressed rapseed oil

Raspberry bush
Hey thanks and you enjoy your Pattaya I also look forward to seeing what you make and I will share how I have these gooseberries. ๐
Thatโs great that youโve some raspberries Mandy you enjoy them ๐
These look really good Jerry, it takes me back many years to when my mum had a row of bushes and it took ages to pick them all and then top and tail them. She also had blackberry, raspberry and loganberry bushes. Good memories.
Hello Hiba they have a taste of their own and can be quite sharp as theyโre not common in the US hereโs a link about them:allrecipes.com/article/what...
I bet that your mum would make an amazing gooseberry pie. ๐
Hi Hiba check out my friend chocolate cake higher up ๐ค๐งกsorry no triangula cheese on it tho I will make a special meal up for you with triangul cheese ๐
Lovely Jerry, we had gooseberry bushes when we had the allotment. We have good crops of raspberries just now and picking strawberries by the hour. Fruit freshly picked tastes so much nicer. Loads of rhubarb this year. Cooked a mixture if gooseberries (given by a neighbour) and rhubarb last night. Will make a biscuit base put the fruit on and then top with honey sweetened Quark and a few raspberries. Healthy pudding!!
Hey thanks and you are so right about home-grown fruit and your rhubarb and gooseberries sounds delicious to me. And you enjoy your home grown strawberries. ๐ ๐
Awe thanks Debs I'm very pleased especially as this is my Frits crop and I've a vegan treat planed for these gooseberries so as long as the smoke alarm doesn't go off it will be on VFL.
It's great to be reminded of happy memories ion home grown fruit and veg, so nice one.
Hi BJ2020 They are super tasting as well and I bought mine from my local garden centre where I also bought the gooseberry bushes and some apple and pear trees. If you do a google search you will find where you can buy them locally. ๐
Your gooseberries look lovely. Hope you enjoy them. I had gooseberries years ago when I went strawberry picking they had them there to pick. It was so long ago I can't even remember how they taste. I don't really see them selling in shops. Will have to look out for them.
Those gooseberries look delectable! I bought a small plant last Spring and potted it up; it's winter here now and I don't know if I need to prune back the leggy branches. Gooseberries are rare here in South Australia so I'm hoping I get a few berries. Thankyou for sharing your photo. Happy eating!๐
