Hi, awesome website, thanks! I'm trying to plant more perennial vegetables. I didn't know much about Cape Gooseberries but planted them for the first time from seed last Spring. They grew very well, no pests and only a few yellow leaves. Problem was, even though I waited until the berries fell to harvest them, about 90% of them were large enough but green and stayed that way, for weeks. Conditions were good, I had watered less - every second day as the temperatures cooled. Thanks.
