I decided to use the space behind the greenhouse to grow some fruit plants so I bought a gooseberry plant (‘Invicta’) from the local garden center. I also pruned the one that came with the house (which didn’t fruit last year).

gooseberry ‘Invicta’
Invicta is a very popular green gooseberry. The large green berries are excellent for culinary use but are also sweet enough to eat fresh when fully ripe. The bushes are vigorous, heavy cropping and have good mildew resistance.
