AnnualIndeterminate - This Polish heirloom is as sweet as candy! The groundcherry is sweet, tart, and savory. A combination of flavors from a tomatillo to slight pineapple is the best of both worlds. Plants produce heavy yields of small husk-covered fruits that fall to the ground at full ripeness. Because of their high pectin content, they are perfect for making jellies, jams, sauces, preserves, and so much more.
First time with ground cherry seeds and didn't get a single sprout. I had some from another company too that also didn't sprout, so I think this could have been user error somehow. Started them in greenhouse, but maybe they are better direct sown? I don't know, but I'll keep trying
Sprouted quickly
I have fond memories of these in my mother's garden and was so excited to find seeds
Seeds germinated well
I absolutely love these ground cherries, or as we call them “garden candy”. Not only do they do really well in my zone (NC zone 8a) but they are super prolific. They volunteer in my garden every year and are so sweet and tasty. Fun fact: they are a wonderful trap crop for pickle worms. I have not had any issues with pickle worms over the last few years that I’ve been growing these because they love them so much. It’s great that they pop up all over the garden so that I can still harvest some for us.

Nice big phat roots on 'em too, honestly the bed wasn't even prepared for how big the roots were. Which is a good "problem" to have if I'm being unclear
This is only my third go with gardening and so naturally I thought: “I oughta plant a few extras just in case”. Shortly after sown, 22 of 24 of the sunspot dwarf sunflower seeds have germinated! No clue where I’ll put them all yet but it’s a problem I’m happy to have. 🙂 Note:
One was not in the photo, I hadn’t moved it over to the larger pot yet. Also, If you’re a first time grower of sunflowers, please know this will not be enough room for this many of them. This photo is of a temporary home for them for just a few days while I sort more space. I didn’t plan to have so many growing this year. #Grow Bigger
This seed germinated beautifully!
I ordered two Natchez Blackberry plugs. If I had known the quality I would have ordered more! There was great care taken into consideration when it came to shipping these live plants. They arrived fully intact with not even a broken leaf. I'm hoping to expand my berry patch with thornless berries. Im tired of the old way of leaving sweat and tears in the berry patch. I'll definitely order more if given the chance.
Trying something I heard about. Planted sweet peas in the extra space around my asparagus. So far, so good.
