Rasps should do well there - they are very hardy.<br /><br />When in doubt, make wine, RT! Although the jam sounds pretty good too. Mind you, in the event of a serious glut, it is worth remembering that you are likely to drink more wine than you are going to eat gooseberry jam (or is that just me?)!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-26087786075800872772011-07-09T17:33:40.280+01:002011-07-09T17:33:40.280+01:00Gooseberry wine?!

It has not been a good day for for the stuff. <br /><br />This afternoon I accepted the fact that six out of my 10 plants died during the Ice Age of last winter and I dug the remainder out and freshened up the whole bed with a big barrow of rotted muck. Will let it settle for a few days and then put raspberries in.BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-78484993115106688972011-07-03T18:21:09.768+01:002011-07-03T18:21:09.768+01:00We planted some leeks today which are pencil thick...We planted some leeks today which are pencil thickness you have up to the end of July to get 'em in so don't panicBri and Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145997360314490436noreply@blogger.com
