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.


Try spraying them with a mixture of milk and water and a drip of Fairy
Liquid. You may have to do it a few times. Cured the mildew on one of
our small roses that has always suffered such that a lot of the
flowers never open.

Thanks, Bob.
You may have saved the lives of my goosegerry bushes. I was going to dig
them all up tomorrow. At home and on the allotment.
One final try. I hate giving up after all this time.
