Re: poor tasting gooseberries

Thanks Jane,
The reviews I've read about the plant spoke about it being a good tasting

We sell quite a few to our customers ( I work at a Landscape Nursery) and
have not heard any complaints about the taste.
I thought it was just my gardening acumen being found wanting.
