I had the idea thismorning of attempting to cultivate garden fruit from
local wild stock. There are some very good wild rasberries in the woods
nearby, and I know where some gooseberries are growing in a hedge - is it
possible that they are wild? I have never heard of wild goosberries, but
hey, they are goosberries and tasty. What would be the best procedure for
getting these into my garden? Grow from seed? Cuttings? Digging up whole
plants? What time of year and what advice?

Not wild, just feral. I've always propagated gooseberries from
cuttings. When I'm shaping the bush, I put all the cuttings
into a pot, and what takes gets given to anyone who wants it/them.
Gooseberry cuttings root really well.

In the autumn Gooseberries is best to take these cuttings from. Isn't
it Anne?.
