I wonder whether anyone has any thoughts. My healthy gooseberry bush was full of gooseberries until...this week I noticed something was eating away at the leaves. So I put down some slug pellets, thinking my garden friends had made their annual return. A couple of days later the pellets hadn't been touched, yet half of the leaves had gone. On careful inspection of the bush, I noticed each leaf was riddled with about five or six caterpillars. As it stands today, the bush is empty of leaves, the fruit is still there, and the caterpillars are moving on. Has anyone any thoughts, advice on what to do next A with the bush and B with the caterpillars should they migrate to another plant in the garden.
