We are striving towards creating a nutritional garden. We have lots of space yet water restrictions so the challenge is to grow what we can with the limited water we have. For now, we can rely on rainwater as the rains have been plentiful this summer season. We are drawing to the end of our wet/summer season and starting to enjoy some of our harvests.
Lots and lots of delicious Cape gooseberries (that I planted alongside the fence to the orchard) ripening aplenty.
Beautiful ladybird spotted on the gooseberries.

We made gooseberry jam with our harvest. Finished in two days!

I think those are the same fruit that we call ground cherries. We love them and can't wait til the growing season begins! By the way, we have a pair of geese called Juno Hera And Jupiter Zeus Goose. Your new geese look happy and healthy!
ReplyDeleteVerdemama, I am sure you are eagerly awaiting spring and all the growing opportunities and we all just love the names of your geese!
DeleteI have never had gooseberries, that jam looks amazing! Well done Leo and family.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammie Lee. The jam is delicious and Leo ate most of that particular pot of it!!
DeleteOh my goodness, yes - we have "ground cherries" all around our yard! I had no idea they are the same as gooseberries. :)
ReplyDeleteJessica, I wonder if they are the same! Do you eat them?
