Ground Cherries Starting to Give Fruit

Finally found some ground cherry plants for the garden this year. It had been a while since we refreshed them and last year there was no harvest of these delicious little husk tomatoes.

This year looks to be quite different!

Ground cherry plants are growing well in the garden this year.

A few fruits have already dropped and it’s only the middle of July. There should be a large enough harvest to provide plenty of fruit as well as seed, so stay tuned!
