GROUND CHERRY
PLANTING: Sow seeds indoors in early spring
in Jiffy 7 or in flats and inserts with a good
soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Place
seeds 1/4″ deep. Germinate at 70F for about
14 days or until emergence. Transplant outdoors
after all danger of frost is past. Space plants
20″ apart. HARVEST: When berries turn yellow,
pick and remove husks. Use fresh or can for
later use. Small yellow cherry like
fruit enclosed in a husk. Makes great pies.
Cape Gooseberry
A tomatillo that is small like the ground cherry but the plants grow up to 3′ in diameter and 10-12″ high. It can be used for pie filling just like ground cherries but is unrelated to common gooseberries
