Gooseberries

Delicious, thorny, considered a "Night Shade Plant". It is banned in some states due to the White Pine conflict.

Love the banner, and I love Gooseberries ever since I first ate them as a child at my grandparents farm in Virginia. We also make a Gooseberry Jam once in a while.

I am so glad to see this unique banner. After all gooseberries are an important part of many gardens. It is nice to see something different and very tasty in the banner! Thanks Fleur! Thumbs up

I agree. I've never seen gooseberries in person. I have had gooseberry jam and it was very good.
