There was some interest in ground cherries in DND's last swap, so I picked these up from Territorial Seeds, and will offer some in her next swap (Nov. 16 if we get enough people interested):

Sow indoors ¼” deep at 70-90ºF, 6-8 weeks before last spring frost.
Emerges in 6-14 days. Pot up when they have their first set of true leaves.
Now give them cooler air, like 60-70 ºF.
Transplant 18-30” apart. Give support, the bushes can get large. Delicate roots.
