Garden Question

[MissCroft]

Any green thumbs here? I have what I think are cape gooseberries growing wild in one area of my backyard. http://www.chefspantry.co.nz/site/gourmetchefs/images/Glossary/cape gooseberries.jpg

They look a lot like chinese lanterns but the two are apparently not the same thing. I like cape gooseberries when I've eaten them in restaurants (often used as a garnish) but not sure if these ones are edible - the berries are smaller despite the fact that the leaves are now orange. Is it probably safe to eat them and does anyone know how to tell what they are for sure?

unless you are sure rof what they are and I do mean sure don't eat them, a major case of the drizzelling shits could be the least of your worries.

If you have any health food or naturalpathy type stores try taking in a sample and see what they say.
