Topics for spring conversations include gardening, spring cleaning and summer plans. So, in that order: Chatting about prairie gardens, I thought about ground cherries. I recalled that in my mother’s garden, they self-seeded from year to year. The vegetable is related to the nightshade family: tomatoes, cape gooseberries, Chinese lanterns.

Some describe the taste as citrusy, and some as pineapple. Not at all like a tomato in my experience. The fruit is a bright orange/yellow encased in a sandy colored papery husk.
