The little green beasties - with black heads - have devoured one
seedling and have now started on my main bush - which has loads of
fruit just not quite ready for the picking...
What can I treat the bush with to get rid of the caterpillars but not
harm the fruit?
TIA
Steve
I would find them and squash them on the leaf
If too many to squash Liquid Derris seems to work. Wash gooseberies
before eating.
