A gander at gooseberries

If a late frost occurs when the flowers have formed your gooseberry bush is unlikely to be affected.

Gooseberries are one of those quintessentially delicious summer berries that readily grow in Ireland but for some reason they receive much less attention than their strawberry and raspberry brethren.

If you say that you have no interest in gooseberries, it may be just that you have never tasted a fine dessert variety, packed with sweetness and a unique flavour, with the sweetest cultivars usually being red in colour.
