5/ Physalis grisea, native ground cherry

Annual. Sow in place or in starter pots in late spring. Stagger planting through summer for continuous berries. Germination depends on warm soil. Plant continues to grow and fruit until it collapses under its own weight. Berries are ripe when husks turn papery. They taste like banana when fully ripe with tomato aftertaste. When still a little green, like pineapple with tomato. Heated, just tomato.
