You can take cuttings of cape gooseberries in the autumn, over winter them and so get an early start when you plant them out in the spring

I absolutely love ground cherries and grow them every year! Started them indoors super early this year and have some already fruiting in a hydroponic bucket under lights :)

I dont label my seeds either. I just learned to identify seedlings. Last year I mixed up all my squash and melon seeds and planted them. It was fun to see what came up where!

Good morning Angela, I have grown ground cherries last year and have saved seeds from them, they are so yummy, I have gotten the seeds free from my local library they have a seed sharing service, it truly is wonderful for the community, hopefully more libraries will do this so more people can have access to free seeds, have a great day :)

It was 7F here in s Michigan. Makes me sure miss Oregon.

I did 4 hours in the yard today! Kitsap Peninsula location. Sunny day!

I have both.

Ground cherries are so good

I`m growing the Inca Berry type...the big tall bush. Pill bugs kept eating the seedlings so I was forced to use a bit of garden dust to allow them to finally thrive.

Beautiful! Really appreciate all of your hard work and taking the time to share it with the world

I discovered golden berries during fall/winter 2022 and am growing both golden berries and ground cherries for the first time right now. I appreciate the differences between the two that you have highlighted! Thankfully, I found varieties with lower days to maturity (60 - 80 days) bc I'm in zone 6a and I wanted to make sure they all had time to ripen. So hopefully that seed packet info is accurate!

Im growing ground cherry this year. I watched a few vids before purchasing but not a whole lot came up on the search. unfortunately this vid didnt come up in the search back in April, it just showed up in suggestions today. so after seeing how they sprawl out, I decided to grow them up a trellis in the container garden. I have 4 in a 4×2 bed with trellis 6ft high on 3 sides. they are crowed but doing great. I could have grew 2 or 3 and it not be as crowed in that bed but it dont seem to be bother them. I even have a banana pepper and 2 marigolds lining the front. these things are awesome and catch your eye as soon as you walk through the gate ! I want to try the ince berries now after watching this. I love grow odd peppers and tomatoes from seed! thanx for the vid, new sub now✌️❤️🙏

Thanks for this! I grew ground cherries last year and loved them but yes they take up a lot of bed space. I didn't know these 2 were different with the growth pattern.

Uuuuugh 17 degrees here lol can’t even bring myself to go out and look at what needs to get done.

Thanks for sharing 👍

👍Inca berries grow more upright and are larger. Ground cherries grow low to the ground and mice can reach them

Hi Angela! Have you tried growing Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry vertically?

Yummy mind stuff... cheers!

Just ordered the Cape gooseberry seeds from Fedco because I had no idea there was a difference between them and ground cherries and have always wondered why the fruits on my plants were so small. Haha

Wha'd'yah'know, I learned something again. I may try the Cape Gooseberry if I come across some seed. I like trying new things in the garden. I planted Ground Cherry last year and though they grew easily I just wasn't impressed by the flavor. I can't really say anything bad about them, they were sweet and fruity. I just didn't really like them that much so I won't be growing them again. Anyone else should try them for themselves at least once though.

had my bees flying the other day here, they were quite happy to get a break

I love your videos. What software do you use to edit the videos?

I'd love an update on your Inca Berries! I'm mostly curious what they look like right now--I got a couple "dormant" starts from a local nursery (they seem dead) and also someone gave me a start from seeds they got from grocery store fruit. I'm curious how your plants are doing right now and when you intend to plant them outside, given the weird spring. Thanks for this cool video!

Im trying the inca berries for the first time this year! Does anyone have a nice preserving idea for them? 🙂

I wish all gardeners would tell where they are(what zone) gardening from.

I have a similar plant but it spreads by it’s roots and is invasive. I’ve never tried to eat it because I thought it was the ornamental Chinese lantern, BUT to my dismay, the husks never turned orange in the fall. They look like a ground cherry and grow low to the ground. I wonder what it is?? I think I’ll have to dig them all out this spring because I don’t think I can eat them. 🤔 zone 5

Here in NorCal 9b I have a Physalis peruviana in a 15 g pot in the green house that’s going on year 3. I have another 2 year one in a raised bed outdoors that took over the bed so I cut it back and transplanted it. I have a feeling it will take.

any chance you have a source for the larger Inca berry seeds? I have had poor luck and people sell the inca berry seeds as the smaller ground cherry plants.

❤❤❤❤

55*F is Cold weather here in Southern Arizona. So Inca Berries can grow in Cold weather?

Witch ground cherry taste like pineapple. The weird explorer on youtube tried one and i want to grow one but i dont know the proper name

I tried a husk tomato once. The flavor in my opinion was awful

I cannot stand the taste of ground cherries, although they grew well for us last year (Aunt Molly & Pineapple). They taste like ketchup with a lot of added sugar to me, and I was expecting them to taste something akin to pineapple or citrus. I will take your word for it that the Cape gooseberries taste pretty much the same as ground cherries, so I will stick to sungold cherry tomatoes if I'm in the mood for sweet tomatoes.

How do you kill that stuff it’s taking over my yard help!!!
