Cape gooseberries: what size pot?
« on: May 18, 2011, 12:36 »
My cape gooseberries (Little Lanterns), which I potted on from a seed tray into 3 in pots a couple of weeks ago, now have little flowers on them (*jumps up and down with excitement), and I think they're ready to go into bigger pots. However, the seed packet doesn't give any information about how big they're likely to grow. I'm going to keep them in the greenhouse.

Anyone know what sort of size pots I should be using?

8" or the smaller flower bucket size.

Yes...thanks Lardman!
I'm at the same stage and was planning 6" so that's put me right! :D

I don't bother with 6" for as an intermediate, although I know many here do. Everything goes from 3 inch to final pots / open ground here, but that's not to say its the correct thing to do. Lets face it my track record isn't good of late !
