Re: Physalis: ground cherry and Cape gooseberry

Re: Physalis: ground cherry and Cape gooseberry

I noticed a husk drying up this morning and I was impatient so I picked the fruit and ate it. It wasn't fully ripe yet but it was pretty good. :)

Re: Physalis: ground cherry and Cape gooseberry

Re: Physalis: ground cherry and Cape gooseberry
