I'm worried about her because we had a pretty vicious coyote raid a couple nights ago. I hope she's okay. She seems smart, so she's probably just hiding out and keeping closer to civilization than the woods for a while.<br /><br />Meghan: Aren't they delicious? And the package description fits them perfectly.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-30026211894500152642010-07-15T04:42:53.795-07:002010-07-15T04:42:53.795-07:00I LOVE ground cherries.

The Latin name for them is Physalis pruinosa. I also have Physalis peruviana growing, which is a much more vertical plant with bigger, tangier fruit.<br /><br />Sherry: You're welcome!<br /><br />Gina: Most of my tomatoes are still green too; it is only a few plants that have started producing already.<br /><br />Thyme2garden: The Black and Brown Boar looks like a typical "black" colored tomato inside, with mahogany flesh and green gel around the seeds. They're yummy.<br /><br />Angela: Oh, my annual tomato review is coming, don't you worry. But I want to have a bigger range of varieties to report on at the same time, so it probably won't happen until August.<br /><br />Ann: And they're yummy too. They're very early-producing for such a large-fruited variety. They may work well in your climate.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-6479489938473048542010-07-14T05:55:57.999-07:002010-07-14T05:55:57.999-07:00Holy frack!

They're deliciously sweet and fun to munch on while working in the garden. <br /><br />Allison: Thanks!<br /><br />Pam: Well, I don't blame your kitten! Mantises are pretty entertaining!<br /><br />Villager: And I've got more interesting varieties coming! The cat isn't ours, but has adopted us (petting it and feeding it seem to have helped), and she's a mighty fine hunter. She's still young and hasn't figured out gophers yet, but she's got mice, rats, squirrels and the like down. She's a winner.<br /><br />Michelle: Both are delicious. The Kosovo is a particularly well-rounded tomato; as an oxheart, it is nearly seed free, so it is great for canning, but it has the flavor of a big juice beefsteak.<br /><br />Lori: Thanks!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-10053909176905959622010-07-12T21:51:51.949-07:002010-07-12T21:51:51.949-07:00Love the tomatoes!
