Too late to feed gooseberries?

Tomorrow I am going to weed, feed and mulch the gooseberries. Is it too late to do this? Or can I still get a good crop of my favourite fruit?

I'm thinking that the amount of fruit you get will already have been determined by how many flowers you had and how many of them set fruit. I haven't looked at mine to check whether I'm right about the timing though.

I imagine you can marginally affect the quality of the developing fruit. The mulch will help to keep moisture in the soil which the growing fruit will need. And the weeding will help cut down competition for moisture and nutrients. And all of your proposed actions will help the long term health of the plant, so nothing to lose and all to gain!

Plus netting to keep the birds and pigeons off!

No problem davholia. Go ahead and feed and mulch. Only mulched mine yesterday. Fed them a couple of weeks ago 
Morrisons are doing a deal of 2 bags of mulch for £6. It's good quality.
