Anyone else got Gossegogs yet?

Good for you mrs D. I wont get any until next year I cant wait they are one of my favourite fruits. Pies and jam, yummy!

Looked at my Gooseberry bush a couple of days ago. Loads of gooseberries on it, so feeling excited.

Just gone out now, and something has stripped all the leaves off my gooseberry bush. No leaves on it at all.

The fruit is still there. As they are all pretty big now, i've picked them and put them on the windowsill hoping they will ripen.

Does anybody know what could have stripped all the leafage? the same thing happened last year, but i lost the fruit last year aswell.
