Sow Right Seeds - Ground Cherries Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant an Outdoor Home Vegetable Garden - Mexican Husk Tomato - Endangered Variety (1)

I started these indoors 4/8 to be able to transplant outdoors end of June - I live in NY. Early May I took outdoors into a portable greenhouse. Water daily, seedlings started to emerge end of May. I had room for 3 plants , 1 went until a 2’ h x 2.5’w pot, others on north or south spots in a raised bed - full sun. 8/9 I started harvesting - just a few were yellow / mostly green berries ( do not eat green) letting then ripen with an apple and banana near by- very tasty- glad I took the chance to try something new. In the last photo the seedling are in the lower right corner- center is a tomato- kind of looked like basil when small - even the lanterns that look old almost whitish yellow had called to the ground had green unripe berries- 9/4- earlier harvest never ripened with multiple accelerators- so left reminder to ripen on plant best to leave until they fall off or the pouch pulls back and self exposes the berry

I see a lot of negative reviews regarding germination, so I’m sharing my experience. I started several seeds in one peat container indoor back in March. This is my first year trying out gardening so I had no idea what I was doing. The seeds germinated, slowly. For about two months they all grew to about 2 inches tall. I thought they were not going to make it. But I thought, what’s the worst that could happened. So I transferred the plants to a 5 gallons grow bag. I did not divide up the plants because they looked so fragile and I didn’t want to risk destroying the roots. For another 2-3 weeks they grew about another inch. At this point I thought I had failed and nothing will grow. Then we got a good amount of rain (in Texas) and they took off overnight! I didn’t even get a chance to separate them anymore so all 4-5 seeds ended up growing together in one grow bag. I think the plants like the heat and rain, but that’s my opinion. Pictures were taken on 06/10/25. The plants are doing very well, with lots of fruits growing. I have never had ground cherry before so I cannot comment on the taste, but I’m excited to try it. This was fun to grow and a learning experience for me as well.

I ordered these seeds in November so I was sure to have them for spring planting. Not one seed came up. I planted them in the same kind of containers and potting soil as I did my tomato seeds and not one germinated. All my tomato seeds came up. I contacted the seller and they never even got back with me. Amazon "closed" the return in January. How could I know the seeds were no good until I tried starting them in March? I will never buy seeds from them again.

Slow to germinate! It definitely takes a while to get them growing, this is my first time every having them and i definitely didn’t give them proper care but I have gotten 3 fruits off them and they where really good, I plan on doing much better next year and I can’t wait! They will be a fun healthy snack my grand daughter is going to love coming and collecting all the little fruits lol

Took a couple of tries but they grew last summer, didn’t really eat them though because forgot and was gone a lot, I hope they will come back on there own this year, that’s why I got them in the first place to add to my food forest and read that they re seeds itself.

We like ground cherries and they are not always easy to find.

They are tiny seeds. I tried ground cherries for the first time a month ago and I enjoyed them. They taste like a pineapple mixed with a mango maybe? A bit tart. I made salsa and my husband enjoyed it.

Tried twice to germinate seeds indoors and nothing. Purple tomatillos in the same tray sprouted with no issues. It would seem that the company would investigate why these seeds are so poor. There is something wrong when you have 20% one-star review. I am trying seeds from a different company, will not buy seeds from this company again.
