Goosberries

So, there's been a debate about why Goosberry (J.D.'s Office) is called Goosberry because he hasn't found any of the little things. This is what they look like. They are striped like hot air balloons or pumpkins, and apparently, if there is a really good crop, they get to be the size of a grape. If you were picking goosberries, this is the bush you'd see.


Harvesters have been on the montain for the last few weeks with big plastic bins shaking and picking the bushes clean.

The problem is, that all the berries we found were red. I tasted one and it made my tongue go numb; at least I thought it did because people were telling me it would. so I stopped.

And it turns out that they were currants. Which really isn't a berry in itself. Currants are a large family of berries and the goosberry is just one of its many children.
