Does anyone here grow and pick their own gooseberries? I have a bush planted about 20 years ago, that I have never picked! The reason I have never picked is that I never know when they are ready, and forget about them.
SO this year I am determined to pick, which I did today, the ones turning red were easy to tell. But if they are still green how do I know if they are ready or not? Can I pick and use them green?
I also learned that there are thorns!!!
I don't have many, maybe a pound, and a pound left on the bush. My plan is to freeze them and decide what to do with them later.
