  1. How beautiful. How long did it take to arrange them all?

    1. I would imagine that it took both time and some manual dexterity Rebecca but can't answer your question. They were an exhibit at a gardening show :)

    1. They were both pretty and eye-catching Kris. My niece who was with me wanted to dive in and nibble one or two but I suggested that we might be asked to leave if she did :)

  3. Lovely range of colours, are they all sweet varieties?

    1. Now that I don't know Sue without checking them all out individually. I'm not sure what I've done with the show programme Sue as that might provide the answer :)

  4. That a real basket full of beauties...dedication to the Gooseberry. Tell us which category this was in and what prize was won. Are you the grower or part of the gooseberry appreciation society?

    1. After a little bit of online research I think that the basket was in the 'A trug or basket of gooseberries, at least 5 cultivars' class at the RHS Tatton Flower Show Noelle. It won a first. I do grow gooseberries but only one variety so in this instance I was very much a member of the gooseberry appreciation society :)

  5. I do love the displays at horticultural shows - was this your entry, Anna? I didn't know so many varieties of gooseberry existed!

    1. Would that it was Caro :) There are a surprising number of gooseberry varieties. I really enjoy looking at and admiring these displays too Caro. Such skill and dedication involved as well as the willpower it must take not to eat your exhibits.

  6. How pretty they look.I didn't realise you could get yellow ones. I grow red ones and they are very sweet and juicy.

    1. They looked even more attractive in the flesh as it were Chloris. I hadn't come across yellow uns before either. I have a red variety at the allotment which lives up to your description.

All your comments are much appreciated and treasured. I wil try to reply to everyone who leaves a comment, but it may take me a few days, especially when I start spending more time in the garden and at the lottie. I know that you will understand :) I am sure that I will also visit your blog if I have not already done so. If you have any specific questions I will either reply to them here or you can email me at : thegreentapestry@gmail.com
