very very sickly and in a lot of chronic pain today but look how happy the kitchen cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, & ground cherry plants are!

all seeds bought from @tomorrowsgardennc 🌱🩷

Last year I grew a bunch of pineapple ground cherries. It was my first time growing them, and I wasn’t wild about the taste. I made a salsa that was pretty fabulous, though. So instead of doing what a normal person would probably do, I thought, well, maybe the problem is I just haven’t found the right ground cherries

So this year I’m growing

Pineapple ground cherries (again)

New Hanover ground cherries

Cape gooseberries

Clammy ground cherry (a native perennial)

Purple tomatillo (because I can)

Then I can compare and see which I like best

The tomatillos germinated pretty fast, followed by the cape gooseberries. The clammy ground cherry was winter sown with my other native perennials and I haven’t seen anything there, although it’s still pretty cold out. I’ve been worried since it’s been three weeks with nothing on the New Hanover and pinapples, although one pinapple just popped up yesterday. I’m debating whether or not I should redo the New Hanover since it might’ve been one of the ones that dried out a bit right after I had surgery

I also plan to grow them all in 5 gallon buckets this year (except for the clammy). It was such a pain in the butt to get everything that fell to the ground (maybe less of an issue if I spaced out my plants really wide but I’m not about that life). It they’re in buckets the I imagine I can just kinda shake them and then scoop up everything that falls to the ground

A print based on ground cherries. I've been fascinated by these things since watching xxxHolic by CLAMP and I can't tell if that's why I think they're magical or they were just kind of magical to begin with.

Not my good scan but will get a good scan once they dry a bit more (pun not intended)

I randomly decided that I wanted to grow at least one ground cherry plant for Grandgirl when she visits. (Plus it's the only fruit that I successfully grow at this point!) I am out of seeds, did not order the seeds, and don't want to spend more money on seeds...especially when the garden will be inundated with ground cherry seedlings in June. But if I wait for those to fruit, I'll miss months of harvest...

So guess who was out digging through the snow to find a few intact pods?

Just two yielded loads of seeds. Some are going directly on cotton for the sprouter, and the rest will dry in a paper-towel-lined strainer. (It's possible that being wet and then drying will kill them, but maybe it won't.)

dude i had the best idea just now (lying)

think about this, a golden cheese / hollyberry fanchild based off of GROUND CHERRIES (literally golden berries)

i love them

Yeah, I learned about them well after I made my hollycheese fankid (Berry Cheese Cookie), I was basically hitting myself in the head when I realized I could have just done Golden Berry Cookie and it probably would have been way more effective

Well, if I ever make a second one, it’s probably what I’ll use. But don’t have any big ideas for that right now, so don’t know when that’ll happen
