Default Gooseberries

When do you pick yours? I ask as I notice one of our allotment holders
has picked most of theirs already before they are even fully grown let
alone ripe and sweet. Why would they do that?

Some people just don't know when to pick. They see the berries and collect
them. Perhaps that's why.
I like them when fully grown and the hairs have gone and are sweet. But
that is just a memory. If I want to eat mine I have to scrape the mildew
off first. A very tedious job.
