Hi! They did really really well! Especially for such a late start. The seeds I started inside got way too spindly due to no light and they never were able to move outside. I ended up just putting some seeds in the ground and they took off. I got loads of the ground cherries! I'm hoping this year to have them started earlier and to get enough to make jams. I'm going to do both ground cherries and cape gooseberries again. We'll see after that. The cape gooseberries taste about the same and seem to have a more contained plant structure, though that might've just been because that plant was started even later and never got as mature. The ground cherries REALLY sprawl! I'm going to set up a better cage system for them this time too. The ground cherries finally stopped producing about.. maybe October? The cape gooseberries have a fuzzier surface and dealt with the cold better so they lasted a few weeks longer.
