Im sure the plant in the pot is a gooseberry plant, what do you recon?

when I bought it from a grocers it had weigela on it but I dont think it its.

The one in the ground is defp a goose but bit unsure about the pot one,

Thanks guys

The plant in the ground is not a gooseberry - probably a blackcurrant. Rub the leaves - do they smell of blackcurrants?
The plant n the pot is probably a gooseberry as it looks thorny. Could be a Worcesterberry though - but I doubt it if you bought it in the grocers!

Haha your right veggie, ive just found the lable on it, id burried it by mistake

I agree with VC - definitely looks like a Gooseberry.

[veggiechicken]

Which one, skeggi?

[skeggijon]

Lol, the one in the pot. I immediately thought the other one was a currant of some sort, though my immediate feeling was Redcurrant - for no other reason than the fact that I'd been mulching round my Redcurrants earlier

[veggiechicken]

i think blackcurrant as you can see purplish buds near the top
Red and white currants have little green flowers in hanging clusters like bunches of grapes..........and they don't smell of blackcurrants

[skeggijon]

True VC - I'm just Redcurrant obsessed at the moment and out of practice in the garden

[veggiechicken]

There are worse obsessions Hope you're managing a bit more now

[skeggijon]

Yes thanks. It's a much slower recovery than I would have hoped for and the Malaria bout hasn't helped, but I'm getting there.
I've had to accept that I won't be able to do as much this year, but hey there's always next year
