Gooseberries...

...or as Big Dave McMonies might say with a big dreamy grin on his face and a faraway look in his eye - "Goosegogs"! My prediction of all the fruit being past it was thankfully groundless. Some had gone past and fallen off and some were squidgy (I sucked the insides out of those) but most seemed ok. It's not a bumper year but we're not complaining either. The bush seems to be falling to pieces from a rotten stem though so it might be time to have a look at varieties with a view to replacing it.
