Any ideas? The bush is about 4 years old, and has had the best crop so far in terms of quantity, but the berries are very small.

Why are my gooseberries so small?

I've just ripped myself to shreds picking 10lb of gooseberries - size is almost certainly down to the waterling - mine are well established plants, most of the berries (especially the red ones) are tiny this year - I didn't water at all until about 2 weeks ago (I laid a soaker hose)
Further along the same bed I have loganberries and raspberries - the first ones were big, fat and juicy - then it got hot and dry, the berries were smaller - since I laid the soaker hose, the berries have again been big, fat and juicy

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
