Tomatillo 04 Sep, S.R. Weeks (USA - Zone 10a climate)
I had a volunteer (a.k.a. "weed") tomatillo-like plant sprout up in my garden. It has grown to be approximately 3 ft. high, same foliage as shown above & has pointed lantern shaped papery outer coverings around a small green tomato-like fruits. Is this edible? Would the Cape Gooseberries be edible?

Like all onions they can be grown in warmer areas if you are in a frost free area of course you can plant them in containers for an early start

Ginger 12 Sep, Lee (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
Ginger from any grocery store can be used. I believe even old rhizomes are ok as they start to form sprouts as they mature. Try to get from a smaller veggie store as the larger ones put most of their veg in cold storage for awhile

Hey Noela, I live at Athol (half-way to Pittsworth) and I purchased my seedlings from Bunnings in Toowoomba. They are still going well. I have memories of my Grandmother growing rosella plants in her back yard for years, her yard backed onto Gold Park, and she didn't do anything special for them, so have a look at any of the garden shops here and good luck

Can you prune this plant after fruit has finished?

Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 14 Dec, Kay (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I wish to know the same thing. It is December in Brisbane. I got a reasonable crop. Those bugs attached but no matter how prolific they are I am like a terrier as I am determined not to lose the bush like I near did a previous season but it has left the bush big and rangey. It is just starting to bear some fruit but I would love to prunit6 it but I am not game unless I kill it.

Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 10 Sep, Crinia (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I prune mine back hard whenever they get too leggy. Best to prune at the end of fruiting season. I put some in the poly house over winter and they have shot back fine. The two I left out in the frost as an experiment have not regrown.

I gave mine a hard pruning after it stopped flowering/fruiting last year and it's now sprouting again. I live in Tasmania so kept it in my hothouse in a pot over winter.
