We grow tomatillos every year. We don't even have to plant them anymore. We have about 6 volunteer plants in the yard right now (doesn't even count the ones I've pulled out and the ones that keep popping up).

Anyway, I heard about pineapple tomatillos and per chance found some seeds for them. Got them started in the greenhouse about 10 days ago (yes, I know it's late in the season... I'm gardening kinda late this year). Germination has been great & I'm hoping to have them in the ground in about 4 weeks. I had never heard of them before. In looking at pictures of them and pictures of ground cherries, they appear to be the same thing.

Are they the same? Just curious.

Thanks! :) I'm looking forward to growing these and making some great salsa later in the season.
