Awww Manics, yours will catch up.   :)

Thanks Tim.  I've eaten a few and they taste good too.  Mignonette from seed this year.   ;D

Hello Gina and welcome.  Physallis are sometimes called Cape Gooseberries.  They taste something like a cross between a Tomato and a Gooseberry and I love them.   :D
