May be direct seed Heirloom / Open Pollinated Ground Cherrys in long season climates, otherwise it is recommended to start indoors 4-6 wks. before last frost date. When direct seeding Heirloom / Open Pollinated Ground Cherrys, plant 0.25" deep. Plant in full sun or with afternoon shade in hot climates. Thin Ground Cherrys to 12-24" apart. Give an average water supply. Ground Cherrys plants are self supporting, but do sprawl, so caging or trellising is recommended in small Heirloom / Open Pollinated Vegetable Gardens. Ground Cherry Fruits are mature when husks are light tan, and fruits fall from plant.
Do not eat immature Heirloom / Open Pollinated Ground Cherries,
as they contain a toxic compound!
