Sweet, pineapple-flavored, lemon-colored ground cherries on short plants (12-18"). Ground cherries are sweet cousins to tomatoes and tomatillos. Kids of all ages love finding tiny wrapped packages and eating the yellow fruits like candy right in the garden, or several weeks later in fruit salad or over ice cream, as they store well in their husks. Naturally high in pectin, they make great preserves and pies as well.

Days to maturity: 60

Seeds per pack: 100

Germination rate: 96% on 01/24/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Sow indoors 1/4" deep around 6 weeks before the last frost date. Germination can take as long as 20 days, but can be sooner if set on a heat mat with a temperature between 75 and 80 degrees F. Transplant in the garden in rows about every 18"-24". Plants will form blousy bushes like tomatillos. Keep well weeded until they fill in the space in order to best find the fallen fruits later in the season; some growers put down weed barriers (plastic, cloth, or newspaper) under the plants to prevent those weeds and more easily see the fallen fruits. Harvest when the husks turn brown and the fruits are yellow. For winter use, store the fruits unhusked in a dry, airy place (like a basket). To eat, remove the husk and eat the yellow fruit raw or bake in pies or stew with sugar for jam.

Note: Unripe, green ground cherries and their leaves and husks are bitter and toxic. Do not eat!

Seed keeping notes

Ground cherries are self-pollinating, but different varieties of the P. pruinosa should be isolated by several hundred feet to prevent unwanted cross-pollination. Seeds are ready for harvest when fruit is ripe. A single fruit can have 100 seeds! You can remove seeds by hand, rinse, and dry. We use a blender on the lowest setting with plenty of water. When the fruits have been broken open, pour the mixture into a large container and add water. Allow the fruits to float and the seeds to sink. Pour off everything except the seed (you may have to add more water and repeat this process a few times) and then strain and rinse the seeds, and dry. However, you may never need to replant ground cherries after your first year - they tend to reseed themselves!

Works great!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This mit works great! I used a tanning lotion and as it started to rub off I needed something to help make my skin even again. The shower water was brown as the water rinsed my skin and the mit. So I know it was working! It is a little rough on your skin to hell scratch it off but overall I recommend.

Got me out of a MESS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This thing is LEGIT. I gave myself a less-than-stellar at-home tan and fell asleep while it was developing- woke up 7 hours later to a HOT MESS. It was horrible. (I also tried a new self-tan company and the product did not work my skin tone AT a ALL- lesson learned!) After looking at different options, i saw this mitt and figured “what do I have to lose”... the mitt itself feels like sandpaper. I got it wet and applied a body scrub with it and scrubbed- HARD. It hurt like a mother but I could see the tan coming off of my skin. Dont think it’s going to magically take off your tan... you need to REALLY get in there. I now use this mitt 2x a week for normal exfoliating and it’s amazing... don’t think you only need to use it for a shotty fake tan. DEFINITELY worth your money.

They don't last long
Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
Aggressive exfoliating but paper thin. They leave my skin nice and smooth but after just a few uses/days they already have holes/tears in them. Appears one pair will only last a few weeks.

WORKED WONDERS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I was skeptical with this at first, as I didn’t expect a mitt to just take my tan off so easily. But, IT DID! I had a bad self tan experience not too long ago and really needed something that was easy. I ordered this and paired it with an exfoliating scrub (using the mitt to scrub it in). I went into the shower looking orange and left with my usual fair skin. NOTE: you do have to scrub to get it out. My skin did turn red from the scrubbing but if you do that it should come out. No complaints just be sure to use some sort of tan remover exfoliator or something than just the mitt. I was confused at first if I just use the mitt but you don’t. So try something that’ll benefit your skin AND take off the tan.
