There are red and white currants near my home, and I found an unpicked Josta bush this summer. Jostas are bigger and sweeter than any of the others, they taste almost like red grapes... stunning!!! I have a freezer full of them.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get your gooseberries and all the pawpaws you an eat!!!B + Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613774723032526006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-41690979261706599492008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:002008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:00Layanee, hi it's nice to meat another New Englande...Layanee, hi it's nice to meat another New Englander. It has a mild mustard taste. Fairly close to boc choi. It gets stronger as the plant ages.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-56960315294916702602008-11-24T18:34:00.000-05:002008-11-24T18:34:00.000-05:00I love the look of that green 'tatsoi'.

Gooseberry jam, pies and tarts are the most common that I've heard of.<BR/><BR/>Tyra: The red ones would be pretty in a pie. Most of the ones that I see sold around here are green however.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62896130426824485012008-11-23T02:03:00.000-05:002008-11-23T02:03:00.000-05:00Hi Daphne, I really do recommend gooseberries espe...Hi Daphne, I really do recommend gooseberries especially the red once they are sweet and nice looking when you have them in tarts and jams./Tyra<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://waxholm.blogspot.com/2007/08/why-gooseberry.html" REL="nofollow">TYRA'S GARDEN Gooseberry</A>TYRA Hallsénius Lindhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111758517855490413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-11973387618323743092008-11-21T10:07:00.000-05:002008-11-21T10:07:00.000-05:00Well I live in Missouri and gooseberries are a sta...Well I live in Missouri and gooseberries are a staple of the farmer's markets here. I am sad to say I've never had them, I didn't know what to do with them. Do you have to cook with them or can you eat them fresh?<BR/><BR/>That is too bad about those trees! Hopefully, you can plant tons of fruit trees at your new place.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-13410724473799370132008-11-20T22:52:00.000-05:002008-11-20T22:52:00.000-05:00I used to eat gooseberries right of the bush in my...I used to eat gooseberries right of the bush in my grandmother's yard.
