Growing Cape Gooseberry, also Golden Berry, Inca Berry

Hello Lyn I leave the over ripe gooseberries (or take a few ripe ones ) and just scratch them into the soil around the gooseberry bush or somewhere else in the garden if I want to plant more and they spring up next growing season. I usually just squash the gooseberry and spread it around a bit. They can be a bit unsuccessful if you try to transplant them after they have popped up out of the ground. As a precaution I always squash some and spread them out on a paper towel and dry them, seal them in an airtight bottle and next season plant them paper and all by tearing the paper into strips ( the seeds stick to the paper )
