Gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa) is a fine garden berry that matures during the month of July.
They are good to eat directly from the bush, which both children and adults who have their own berries in the garden have done at all times.
Otherwise, they can be used for jam and juice. Often they are also mixed with other berries.
Picking them can be a small challenge. Notice the pointy tags that one can stick to when picking these good berries.
Also, note the little hairs that are on these berries. These are old species that are sweet and good in taste. These old varieties are not as popular in commercial operations today as they do not have such large crops and are more susceptible to diseases a modern variety that has resistance to some of these diseases and has large crops.
But the taste of these old gooseberries is unbeatable.
I will try to take photos of gooseberries when they are mature. The colours of the berries can vary a lot from yellow to green and red.
