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.
