I hate to say it, but considering where
gooseberries are from, (England and the Hinnomaki's from Finland) but perhaps
your berries did better BECAUSE of the clouds and reduced light from
screening. I definitely plan to plant mine where they will have mostly
shade, that stands out pretty clearly from both Nafexers experience and the KY
bulletins. I have read elsewhere that the green-yellow berries don't get
as sweet, though Lon said that the H. Yellow is really nice when well
ripened. I would definitely have to screen mine to acheive that. The
first cardinal that tasted one would tell all the rest. Thanks again for
all the advice. I've put the lot into a Word document. Oh, I wonder
if Jackie would like it? I've fiddled with it already to make it take up
less room, not really editing but like Mark Twain said, taking out every other
word to make it read more lively. Donna
