The title says it all. I tried growing them for the first time in 40 years. Last time I did was in the late 70's. For some reason the birds have been grabbing every one that hits the ground and either tearing them apart or completely eating them.
I finally had enough of it yesterday and figured if I was never going to get enough to make something out of them so I picked all the husks turning yellow. I peeled off the husks, set them in a tray inside by my window and hope they will ripen like tomatoes.
Most are yellow to yellowish-green so they are on their way.
Will window ripening work for ground cherries?
