Welcome to this great group! I admire that you will make the trek from Delaware!
That is a long trip....Safe travels.....

In your post above--you said you wanted Gooseberry. Did Chantelle list it on her haves?
It was me that offered a Gooseberry shrub. I have 2 growing in gallon pots.
Will put you down for one--unless Chantelle was also offering it???

I have had this Gooseberry shrub forever....got it from an old man who had
grown it forever too. I don't know the variety. It did not fruit too well for me--
as I had it growing in a semi-shaded area.
Last summer--I dug it up. Several sections came off of it--and so I potted them up.
Now I have it in a huge pot in the middle of my back yard in really good sun.
Hoping to get more berries--I do see a lot of blooms...
Gotta watch the birds! geesh! In N. Europe (where i am from) these grow everywhere.

Here is my big one...looking good! Gita (aka G.)

edited to correct spelling....
