Ground Cherries

I found this unusual, little plant at our favorite local greenhouse.

It looked like a potato but the tag said Ground Cherry ‘Goldie’.

I put it in a big pot near the entrance to keep an eye on it.

What a perfect spot for the source of my favorite snack.

This plant is a Physalis relative of Chinese Lanterns/Jack-o-LGround antern plant.

Its little yellow pods contain a juicy sweet berry.

The taste is like pineapple.

It has been dropping dozens of yummy fruits each day for weeks.

I read that it may reseed.

I hope so.
