Johnsons - Cape Gooseberry - 100 Seeds

Bright glossy berries, with a mouth-watering ‘fruit salad’ flavour, develop within unusual papery husks. Easy to grow in a sunny sheltered spot. For indoor sowing
When February to March.
Where In pots or trays of seed compost.
How Sow thinly, do not cover the seed with compost. Firm gently and keep moist. Cover with glass, polythene or propagator lid. Keep at approx. 15-20°C. Seedlings appear 7-21 days.
Care Remove cover when seedlings appear. When 5cm tall transplant into 10cm pots of compost with as little root disturbance as possible. Keep at approx. 15°C. Stand outside for a few days late May (avoid frosts). Transplant to a sunny sheltered spot outside, 30cm apart or into containers ideally at least 30cm diameter and 30cm deep. Keep moist and weed free.
Harvest July to September. To eat, remove the fruits from the papery husk. Fruit stores best when left in the husk.
