I have never grown these before, but they sounded fun. Ground cherries are a type of tomatillo that is more sweet than tart. I’m having a lot of fun with the tomatillos because they have an automatic shutoff on the ripening process, thereby taking out the guesswork. Essentially, when the husk becomes brown and the fruit falls, it is done! (No picking needed!) The first fruits to fall are so tiny though, but delicious to snack on. I wonder if I will get anything bigger than this before the summer is over … it has been a very odd, bad year for gardening.
