Between the two of us, we have six little ones to feed, so planting this Cape Gooseberry was a no-brainer!
Fast-growing, incredibly productive, and happy to pop up new plants with very little encouragement, Cape Gooseberries are one of those plants that just keep on giving. Their sweet, tangy fruit rarely makes it as far as the gate, usually being eaten straight from the garden by little hands.
Of course, they're not the only fruiting plants keeping our families well supplied. Across the garden you'll also find apples, citrus, plums, strawberries, blueberries, feijoas, currants, raspberries, and quinces, all working together to create an abundant, edible landscape that provides food throughout the seasons.
One of the joys of growing a diverse food garden is knowing there's always something ripening, flowering, or preparing for the next harvest.
