My Grandmother made the very best gooseberry pies. She took them to church gatherings and family reunions. Everyone loved them, including me. I too would like to grow a gooseberry bush. Do you know where I could find one? Gooseberries grew wild where I grew up in Southeastern Missouri. My Grandmother made the very best gooseberry pies.

I have seen blueberry bushes for sale in Mishtela around Jerusalem: my favourite is Victor's Nursery on rehov Beitar (ask for Tomer), or Itamar's Nursery at Moshav Ora (great cafe too). But I can get some blueberry seeds from the UK to share too..... About the worms ... just keep digging away at a patch of soil; they will come. And a tended compost heap will attract them too, eventually. I haven't found wormeries for sale here yet, but there are US and UK companies who would send them - maybe cheaper if a few folk buy together? Email me at: jamesmurraywhite"at"gmail.com to co-ordinate seed swaps. james Hi Hannha,

I am also very interesting in getting a blueberry bush- do you know if it will grow here...blueberries are one of the highest antioxidant food on the planet and have not seen them in the Land..... Also you mentioned WORMS for composting. Where can you get them here. In the states, my garden was full of worms but here there is not a one.... Thanks for your reply.
