Ripped out this gigantic weed that was posing as one of my tomato plants. Then remembered I was given a ground cherry seed that I was testing out this year 🙃

Lol I feel you I weeded out a pepper earlier in the year when I was pulling a bunch of pepper-looking weeds. Enough root to replant?

I lovingly tended a bed of weeds this year under the impression they were my pansies. I was so looking forward to the explosion of blooms. 😢🤷🏻♀️

Well I had a whole row of ground cherries this year that had a deadly nightshade mixed in. It even got a nice heap of my precious compost…

Put it in your not hot enough compost pile then next year when you use that compost as a top dressing on your orchard and raised beds you’ll have 1,000,000,000,000 volunteers.
Ask me how I know 😉
P.S. It’s a wonderful “problem” to have, my daughter loves them and so does everyone who tries them.

I would put it back in the earth and pat the dirt around it. No one will ever know!!!!

My in laws wanted to help in my garden one year. They weeded it. They thought my carrot, radish, and green onion seedlings were weeds 😭😭
They still like to help. This year they pulled my oxalis triangularis perennial flowers as they were sprouting. Twice. 😑

I put 1 ground cherry on the corner of the garden a few years ago. Now I get hundreds that come up. I don’t mind, but just keep that in mind! Try not to leave too many on the ground if you don’t want that to happen.
