Hi Jean, I also live in the Moreton Bay region and would like to grow some gooseberries as they were my Nannas best fruit for jam. Could you help me out? Thank you

I got my seedlings from" Diggers" mail order and planted them in a shady spot last year at the wrong time. Early september this year when the sun started to reach them they have trebled in size to about 35cm and have bushed out. I believe the variety I got is called "Lion" or some such and I await their flowering. They are unlike the Cape Gooseberries I have seen photos of on the internet and are a little thorny.
