I have grown cape Gooseberries successfully a few years ago. I live in south east. Fabulous crop. My question is how do you look after the plants after harvest and overwinter. I lost all my plants over the winter so starting again from seed this year. Thankyou. Suzie.

It says it is perennial here so should grow all year. Maybe a light trimming after harvest. Frosts might kill it. Don't over water it during it's dormant time.
