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.

Gardening for over 40 years. The Trifecta very impressed has all the elements I want in a fertilizer. Next year I will buy the largest amount.
Second squash to produce for me. Picked young and the skin is very thin/easily bruises. Roasted first batch and they were a delicious mild flavor! Very soft but the roasting gave a nice crust on them. 2nd batch mixed in a stir fry and it overcooked very easily and was mushy. I like how prolific this plant is and the mild taste. Just need to make sure not to overcook. Well definitely grow again.
So far it's been going well. I'm going to try some on my indoor grow now.
Planting strawberries for the first time and all of the plants are doing great except for one that is struggling to grow. Instructions that arrived with the plants was extremely helpful! Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to next year's harvest.
Very happy with my purchase. I planted 40 seeds and they all germinated! Felt like I ran the lottery. Haven’t had a harvest yet but they are growing well. Already knee high. Very happy with my purchase
