How’s this for fast fruit?

-

Three to four months after planting out, Cape gooseberry bushes will be fruiting. do not start harvesting until the green husks look like brown paper and the cherry-sized fruit they shield has turned a rich golden colour. Each ‘cherry’ has lots of tiny seeds, so if you don’t want a forest of seedlings next spring, make sure you harvest all the fruit.
