It is actually TOXIC!!<br />Only ripe fruit will do, and my experience has been that they don't ripen after they have been picked.<br />Sorry this is months late in coming!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797959217271161971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190723521016552384.post-23379783033098513312010-08-25T11:21:28.525-07:002010-08-25T11:21:28.525-07:00I wonder if the peruviana gooseberry would ripen i...I wonder if the peruviana gooseberry would ripen inside if picked slightly green. Reason i am asking is that my peruviana are *just* starting to yeld now, and the season will be over in a few weeks around here. If I could harvest a bunch just before the first frost, and let the berry ripen inside, that would be oh so very cool!<br /><br />I tried last year with pruinosa ground cherry, and it did not work: they stayed green, and eventually withered. Sad. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190723521016552384.post-43871330773376891182010-02-03T18:27:04.113-08:002010-02-03T18:27:04.113-08:00More reason to come, to get seed.

There is NO comparison between Cape Gooseberry and Ground Cherries. Cape Gooseberries are just so good. I eat so many when I am picking!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797959217271161971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190723521016552384.post-64832280755661769882010-02-01T09:08:38.933-08:002010-02-01T09:08:38.933-08:00Hi Linda, I always wondered why I was disappointed...Hi Linda, I always wondered why I was disappointed with my locally sourced ground cherries when comparing them to the ones that grow wild on my Dad's farm.........<br />Will you have seed on Saturday?melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692310241919365598noreply@blogger.com
