They almost seem as bad as my kids, prehaps invest in a titanium steel
cookie jar, that should keep'em at bay.

As was previously mentioned on NAFEX, you could try sourcing from Mr.
Fruth (though I don't know him personally, he seems like a reliable
source for seeds and information) Besides this contact, I also have
had no success obtaining any sources for cape gooseberry.

Regarding this and other varieties, where do you get seeds for named
varieties? Searching by variety name doesn't get me anywhere. I'm growing
cape gooseberry right now, but it is an unspecified variety.

P.S.: I grew up with these berries. Make great jam and pies. Still do, if I
can get the kids not to eat them all first. :-)
