Hardly noticeable,
tiny flowers:
if the sawflies don’t arrive and munch
(none came last year, so hopefully
no cocoons in the soil
– must remember to put down
some newspaper underneath to hinder),
a harvest of sharp juicy
gooseberries in August.

Thank you, Di. Had a bit of a cold, and husband a bad throat, enough to have to self-isolate, but nearly over now. Missed you around, hope you are OK. Not sure about the newspaper thing, but I know it was suggested by someone one year, and we didn't have the trouble, but really only had one bad year with them anyway. Other things are suggested probably. warm regards, Rhiannon
