I’ve gotten about the same from the sungold but not nearly as many ready on the plant. I expect it might be a tortoise and the hair situation, though.

Only a pair off of my tas chocolate but easy a dozen green ones getting ready. Same goes for my pink Berkeley tie die, but with none harvested yet.

All are in ~5 gal containers on a patio

Anyone have ground cherry germination tips? I have like 0 success

I do the same thing as tomatoes and peppers, just put in a 6 cell and bottom water in the heat. They take longer than tomatoes to start, but less than some peppers.

Do you use a humidity dome? Outside?

Humidity dome. In my greenhouse, but a shady spot in the yard or on a patio would be the same thing.

Goldenberry, ground cherry, and eggplants all coming along really well! my peppers are in flower with one or two fruit and the tomatoes are beginning to make a few.
