Ground Cherries!

I always enjoy it when my mother-in-law visits, especially when she saves me from making terrible gardening mistakes. For a few weeks I was watching an unknown "weed" grow in my garden, but had left just in case it was something interesting. When I showed my MIL, she said "that looks like a kind of tomato with a husk that I've seen before." Aha! Suddenly I realized that it was actually one of my ground cherries that apparently waited two months to sprout!

I was about a day away from pulling it, which would have been really unfortunate. Now I can't wait for ground cherry jam in a few weeks...
