gooseberry question

[kymrob]

we have big bush full of green gooseberries what are riping but noticing that they are getting red on one side  anyone know why?

[kymrob]

Probably getting more sun and are ripening faster!

[kymrob]

thought it could be sun related cause its only on side of gooseberry which is facing sun! thanks

[:(]

or it might be a red dessert gooseberry.

i have the red ones last year they tasted like grapes thought they was the normal green but turned out red

[Stevens706]

I have red ones and I think they taste better than the green ones

i have loads of gooseberrys on my little bush some of them are going red on one side but they are so small dont think i will get eating them

Give them some water - it will be a while until they ripen even if they are showing signs of red on one side and they can still fill out.
