Ground cherry

Ground cherry is producing prolifically in the community garden plot. Not so much in the home garden. I really like it for snacking. The little morsels are so sweet and tasty.

Planting and uprooting

Some new plants have arrived. Other overly enthusiastic plants have to be removed. That’s the way it goes in my garden.

Here’s what we dug up:

Horseradish
Comfrey
Rudbeckia laciniata (cut leaf)

I feel pretty sure I have not seen the last of these plants since they grow so enthusiastically in the garden from just fragments of root. But I’ve made a dent in the amount of space they take up. And I can keep after them more easily with the big bulk of them gone.
