Default Cape Gooseberry in Sheffield

Hi All,
I have grown Cape Gooseberry`s in an unheated Greenhouse in Widnes near
Liverpool with no problems. take a ripe Cape Goosberry crush it to remove
the seeds and dry them out. save the seeds, and treat it as you would
Tomatoes. Good luck with it.

Hello folks,
this year I have successfully grown some cherry tomatoes for the first
time and would like to try something more exotic next year.

I was reading Roger Philips Vegeatable book and noticed that Cape
Gooseberry needed the same conditions as tomato. I live near Sheffield,
has anyone had expierience of growing these this far north and do you
have any advice to give.
