Review: Be patient, very slow to emerge - done not eat plant parts or green berries - 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 Review: Waste of Money - I've grown ground cherries for many years and never had seeds that didn't perform. Last Spring I bought the Sow Right Ground Cherry Seeds and followed the instructions on the packet, which weren't different from past experience. However, not a single seed germinated, making the ease of growth ridiculous. Most likely I was sold old seeds past their prime, so I'll never trust this brand again. Once I realized the seeds were defective, it was too late for a refund. So don't waste your money on the Sow Right brand. Instead, buy from a trusted seller. ## Features - Beautiful – Large premium packet of Ground Cherries (Physalis pruinosa) seeds.
