Physalis strawberry planting and care in open ground. Physalis edible Physalis strawberry cultivation

Physalis is an interesting annual crop of the nightshade family, a relative of tomatoes. The homeland of the plant is America. The vegetable is not too demanding on growing conditions and care. Physalis strawberry can have yellow or reddish small fruits (weight 3-5g), distinguished by a strawberry-pineapple aroma and pleasant taste. The variety is early ripening, the fruits are harvested 92-100 days after sowing. Berries are consumed both fresh and processed. They are used to make preserves, jams, candied fruits, and dried in the oven.

Physalis is propagated by seeds, both seedlings and without seedlings. The first method makes it possible to get the harvest as early as possible. And when sown directly into the ground, young plants will be more resistant to stressful environmental conditions, but the harvest of fruits will come a little later. In addition, in some regions with a short growing season, the berries may not have time to ripen before the autumn frosts. Therefore, the more common method of obtaining physalis is through seedlings. The seeds of the crop are small; there is a time-tested method to separate the frail and non-germinating ones. The seed material that floats to the surface of the saline solution will not produce healthy seedlings, so it is better not to sow them. It is good to keep the seeds in a solution of a growth stimulant, for example, epin or zircon.

Seedlings are usually sown in March. It is convenient to place them in cassettes or boxes, covering them with glass or film until germination. The temperature regime and watering are the same as those suitable for seedlings of other vegetable crops; it is better to focus on tomatoes. After the formation of 3 true leaves, the seedlings are planted; it is convenient to do this in separate peat-humus pots. The grown seedlings are fed with a solution of mullein or bird droppings. Be sure to carefully pour the solution in a thin stream under the root, avoiding the mixture getting on the leaves, so as not to burn them. Within 2-3 weeks, young physalis is hardened. Plants are transplanted to a permanent place in the ground in mid-May. The optimal planting pattern for the strawberry variety is 50x40 cm.

Preparing the soil for physalis is done in the same way as for tomatoes. Includes digging and filling with organic matter. Fresh manure is not applied; compost, peat, wood ash or humus should be used. The following are considered good predecessors for nightshades:

• Cabbage
• Legumes
• Roots
• Green
• cucumbers

You should choose a well-lit place; the soil should not be acidic. If necessary, lime and add dolomite or bone meal.

Usually it is enough to water the crop 3 times a week. Particularly hot and dry weather requires more frequent irrigation. A smart agrotechnical solution would be to mulch the plantings. Peat, humus, and grass mulch are suitable. Then you will have to water and weed somewhat less frequently, the soil will be protected from the formation of a dense crust and cracks.

At the beginning of the flowering phase, plants need feeding. Apply complex mineral fertilizers, universal or for vegetables. Physalis responds well to foliar feeding. Around mid-June, it is recommended to pinch the bushes to stimulate branching. They do not need stepsoning. If there are a large number of ovaries, you need to tie up the shoots. Strawberry physalis reaches a height of 70 cm, so for this variety it is better to take care of supports in advance.

When the fruits actively begin to form, you can feed again. During this period, the amount of nitrogen-containing fertilizers should be minimal, and more phosphorus and potassium compounds should be added. This is necessary to prevent the rapid development of leaf mass to the detriment of the fruit. The ripening of physalis begins from the lower tier of branches. When this happens, it is recommended to stop watering. To ensure that the berries with thin, delicate skin do not become saturated with excess moisture and crack.

The biological feature of physalis is that ripe fruits can fall to the ground. However, this is not considered an obstacle to eating them, and does not in any way impair the quality and commercial properties. The berries are simply picked from the ground. Since the growing season of this vegetable is quite long, it happens that not all the fruits have time to ripen. In this case, they are collected before the onset of frost and transferred to a warm room for ripening.

Physalis is known to gardeners as an ornamental plant. Its yellow, orange and red flowers make up bouquets that delight the eye even in winter. Sometimes it is only after visiting the vegetable department of the supermarket that the realization comes: if these flowers are sold here, then they can be eaten. And they are not only eaten, but also successfully grown in our latitudes. The correct name for the edible berries is strawberry physalis.

This annual plant belongs to the nightshade family. Its distant relatives are vegetables familiar to us from childhood: tomato, pepper and eggplant. The stem and branches of strawberry physalis are pubescent, which is why it is also called pubescent physalis. The plant is not tall, it rarely grows more than 35–45 cm. The lantern with the berry is small. Over time, it changes color from green to yellow. And inside is a golden berry.

The productivity of strawberry physalis is considered low. Up to 2 kg of berries are harvested from one bush. They taste sweet with a light strawberry aroma. But small - up to 12 mm in diameter. The photo shows that they resemble small yellow cherry tomatoes. The berries contain a large amount of ascorbic acid and up to 9% sugar. They are consumed fresh and dried, and made into jams.

It is easy to grow strawberry physalis from seeds. In nature, physalis berries fall off, and the plant easily reproduces by self-sowing. However, to achieve good results, large and full seeds should be selected. To do this you need:

• prepare a 5% solution of table salt;
• dip the seeds into the resulting solution;
• select the husks and seeds that float to the surface;
• Rinse the remaining seeds in clean water and dry well.

Before planting, the seeds in a linen bag are dipped in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate, kept for 15 minutes and washed under running water. This will protect them from fungal diseases. In order for the plant to hatch faster, wet seeds are not immediately planted in the ground, but left for a week at a temperature of 20 degrees.

Strawberry physalis is demanding of heat, so it is sown in open ground when the soil warms up to 12 degrees. This is approximately the second half of April - May. For sowing, choose an unshaded area where nightshade crops have not previously grown. Good predecessors are cabbage, cucumbers, pumpkin, potatoes, legumes. The soil is cleared of weeds and loosened. You can add radish seeds, lettuce seeds, or just sand to small physalis seeds.

Seedling method

Growing by seedlings is preferred by those who want to get the harvest early. A universal soil mixture for garden crops or tomatoes is suitable for this. In mid-March, the seeds are sown to a depth of 1 cm and covered, ensuring that the soil remains moist. When the first two true leaves appear, the plant is thinned out and planted in separate containers or peat pots.

Physalis seedlings are grown in a warm, bright place, and they begin to harden off a couple of weeks before planting. By this time, the temperature outside should be at least 12 degrees Celsius. After about 40 days, the seedlings can be transplanted into the garden bed. It is better to plant in the afternoon or in cloudy weather according to a 60 by 60 cm pattern. Seedlings are buried to the bottom leaf, long plants are placed at an angle.

You can see how physalis grows in the video.

Growing and caring for strawberry physalis

To grow physalis, you need to constantly weed it and loosen the soil. If physalis has grown by self-seeding, then it needs to be thinned out. The plant tolerates drought and cold well. But until mid-July, it is advisable not to forget to water it every other day, without flooding it with too much water. Then you can reduce watering to once a week. From August, watering should be stopped completely.

Physalis will not refuse feeding either. The first can be done already 2 weeks after sowing the seedlings. Mineral fertilizers alternate with organic ones. If the plant is weak, with a thin stem, then the first feeding is done with ammonium nitrate. If fertilizers get on the physalis, they are carefully washed off with water. This will help avoid burning the leaves.

To prepare a mixture of mineral fertilizers for 1 square meter of planting, you need to mix:

• 10 liters of water;
• 20 g superphosphate;
• 10 g of saltpeter;
• 15 g potassium salt.

Organic fertilizers include slurry (1 part of manure per 5 liters of water), infusion of bird droppings (1:15) or mullein (1:10).

During the growing season, the tops of strawberry physalis are pinched. This promotes stronger branching and increased yield. The plant does not need pinching or staking. If the summer is rainy or the area is low-lying, then physalis is hilled, that is, soil is sprinkled to the bottom of the plant.

Disease and pest control

Strawberry physalis is resistant to diseases, and it does not have many enemies among pests. Plants can become infected with mosaic and blackleg. The causative agents of blackleg are fungi that reproduce in too wet, unventilated soil clogged with weeds. The disease manifests itself as darkening of the root collar. With proper care of plants, the chances of blackleg appearing are minimized. If an affected physalis bush is noticed, it must be removed immediately.

Mosaic is identified by light green spots on the plant. If physalis is infected, then it is useless to fight. Pests act as carriers of the disease. Therefore, their timely destruction will be an excellent prevention. Strawberry physalis is loved by mole crickets and wireworms. They live in the soil, so the best protection is deep digging in the fall and loosening in the spring.

Harvesting

There is nothing complicated in growing and caring for physalis, so if you follow all the simple steps, the gardener will be pleased with a scattering of delicious yellow berries and enthusiastic reviews from neighbors. They ripen gradually right up to the first frost. If the fruits have not yet ripened, they will ripen easily in a warm and dry room. Typically, plants are dug up by the roots and hung in a barn, gradually collecting the berries.

The fruits are removed from the bush in dry weather. Those who have fallen to the ground are picked up. In wet weather, stale berries can rot and ruin the rest of the harvest. In order to collect the seeds yourself, select the largest lanterns and let them dry. Small grains will remain inside, which will remain viable for up to 3 years.

Fizalis is a very heat-loving crop. Some of its species, even in countries with warm climates, are grown only through seedlings. In the latitudes of central Russia, only vegetable physalis, also known as glutinous, also known as Mexican physalis (Physalis ixocarpa) and berry physalis, represented by the following species: physalis or raisin (also known as strawberry physalis) (Physalis pubescens), Florida physalis (Physalis floridana) and Peruvian physalis (Physalis peruviana). Berry physalis are inferior to vegetable ones in terms of yield, but are distinguished by their dietary, refined taste and aroma. According to the requirements for growing conditions and ripening time, berry physalis occupy an intermediate position between tomatoes and vegetable physalis.

Vegetable physalis.

This type of physalis is sometimes called Mexican for its place of origin or adhesive for the sticky, bitter substance that covers its fruits. There are low-growing (35 cm) and tall (125 cm) varieties of vegetable physalis. This is the most productive type of edible physalis. Depending on the variety, the yield can range from 3 kg per square meter to 5 kg per plant. Sometimes more than 200 fruits are set on one plant. The fruits of vegetable physalis are similar to tomatoes, for which they are often called Mexican tomatoes. The largest of them can grow weighing up to 150 g. Usually, the weight of vegetable physalis fruits is 30-80 g. When physalis ripens, the color of its caps and fruits changes from green to light yellow. Vegetable physalis is harvested in dry weather until frost. Unripe fruits of vegetable physalis can be ripened for 7-10 days in a warm place. True, their taste is somewhat inferior to the taste of naturally ripened fruits. Salads, vegetable stews, caviar are prepared from vegetable physalis, they are canned and pickled. The fruits of the Mexican physalis produce delicious preserves and jams reminiscent of figs. This physalis is good for making dry wine and candied fruits.

Berry physalis strawberry, raisin or pubescent.

This is a South American species of physalis, often called strawberry physalis for the aroma of its small sweet fruits and berries. Plants of this type of physalis have strong pubescence of leaves and stems, which is reflected in the name of the species “pubescent”. Strawberry physalis is a low-growing (30-35 cm) or medium-growing (50-70 cm) highly branched plant with a semi-erect or semi-spreading bush shape. Unlike the Mexican strawberry physalis, it is a self-pollinator. Its yield is 0.3-0.5 kg per plant. This physalis produces amber juicy fruits weighing 2 g, sweet, with a slight sourness, the taste and smell of pineapple or strawberries. The species is distinguished by its unpretentiousness in cultivation, early ripening, long shelf life of ripe fruits and excellent taste. The fruits of strawberry physalis are eaten fresh and used for making preserves, marmalade, marmalade, jelly, compotes, candied fruits, etc. Oven-dried strawberry physalis resembles raisins, hence one of its names “raisin”. The photo shows the fruits of strawberry physalis.

Florida physalis berry.

An unpretentious, early-ripening, cold- and heat-resistant species of physalis. Florida physalis has small fruits weighing up to 1.5 and a very sweet taste. Usually its light yellow fruits are covered with purple specks. They have yellow flesh without aroma, and the fruits of this physalis are consumed fresh.

Berry physalis peruviana.

The homeland of this type of physalis is Peru, as its name suggests. This is a very heat-loving and light-loving species, so it is grown very rarely in garden plots, only in protected ground. Under film cover, the height of some varieties of Peruvian physalis reaches 2.5 meters. From one square meter you can collect from 0.4 to 1.0 kg of its fruits. The fruits can reach a weight of 3-9 g. The low yield of Peruvian physalis is compensated by the high nutritional value of its fruits, which contain many vitamins, microelements and pectins. The fruits of this species are distinguished by juicy bright or brown-orange juicy pulp, reminiscent of strawberries or pineapple in taste and smell. Unripe fruits can be ripened, but fruits ripened on the bush have the best taste. The shelf life of Peruvian physalis fruits is low, so they are collected in dry weather and care is taken to ensure that their covers are dry. The berries of the Peruvian physalis are consumed fresh, and preserves, jams, and compotes are prepared from them.

Physalis.

This exotic representative of the nightshade family has many faces and is original. There are more than a hundred of its species. Three varieties are popular in our country: vegetable, decorative, and strawberry. If you want to breed physalis, growing and caring for its different types has some differences. But in general, the crop is not classified as a plant of complex agricultural technology. Therefore, the popularity of all varieties of physalis is steadily growing.

This plant was a weed in ancient times. It multiplied without human intervention, by self-sowing. The local American population did not consider it food. But in Mexico, physalis has long been popular as an edible plant. Many varieties have been bred there that bring high yields and can be grown both on the plain and in the mountains. From these places, physalis came to Russia. This was in the 17th century, and they gave it the nickname “Mexican tomato.”

As luck would have it, physalis came to us and even began to grow quite well. Only it did not receive any distribution until the 20s of the last century.

Interesting fact!In 1926, its active study and selection began, carried out by S. Bukasov. It was then decided that physalis is a vegetable crop, and they began to grow it successfully and en masse.

After 10 years, more than 5,000 hectares of physalis grew in the vast expanses of the USSR. New varieties have appeared that have begun to be used in the confectionery industry. They began to produce citric acid en masse from physalis. But the wave of interest in domestic selection in this plant subsided, and physalis remained only an infrequent guest on private plots.

Physalis is the “relative” of tomatoes

Physalis: food or decoration?

First, you need to understand the types. There are three large groups of physalis: vegetable, medicinal and ornamental.

	It is classified as a dried flower. In mid-latitudes it is called “Chinese lantern” and comes in lemon yellow, bright orange and classic red. Preservation of decorativeness - in all seasons. Reproduction occurs easily and naturally - by dividing the bush.
Medicinal Physalis	It has anabolic properties, can stop blood, drive urine and bile. Used by traditional healers in America.
Vegetable Physalis	At Russian dachas it is represented as an annual. It is divided according to geographical type into Mexican and South American. The second has small berries, but more aromatic and sugary than the first. Typical representatives are strawberry and Peruvian.

Berry physalis

I would like to dwell on this view in more detail. It received its name for the persistent strawberry smell of the fruit. A plant with a branched, pubescent stem up to 70 cm, with oval corrugated stems. It is propagated by seedlings because it is heat-loving. It is quite demanding on temperature conditions; its seeds germinate only at +15°C. Ripe berries are small and yellow. The yield is high - 1-1.5 kg per bush. The berries contain a lot of vitamins and sugar, so they are eaten raw, made into jams and dried like raisins.

Note! This and other physalis have the same diseases that are inherent in tomatoes - black leg at the seedling and early stages of development, late blight at other stages.

Peruvian Physalis

This crop, as a berry rather than a vegetable, has been cultivated in Peru for many centuries. Two centuries later, it arose in Russia and began to spread quite rapidly, but only in the southern regions. Moreover, even there it is propagated by seedlings, since it is very heat-loving - at temperatures below +20°C the seeds will not germinate. In addition, the Peruvian species is demanding of moisture and soil. The plant has large leaves and small berries that exude the smell of pineapple.

Interesting fact!In the subtropics, this type of physalis does not freeze in winter, and the next year the fruits ripen not in September, but in early summer.

Mexican physalis

It is more widespread than others because it is most tolerant of growing conditions. Vegetable, similar in properties to tomatoes. It is completely resistant to cold and humidity, shade-tolerant, and grows on almost any soil. This physalis feels great next to other (unrelated) crops. It can even be planted between rows.

The most popular physalis is Mexican

This type of physalis is distinguished by an upright bush form of varying heights - from 30 to 120 cm. The color of the tops can also be from green to purple. The fruits weigh about 50 grams, and about 400 pieces can be collected from one tall bush.

Interesting fact! All vegetable varieties have fruits that are highly valued according to different parameters. They have a very high content of pectins, an ideal balance of the ratio of acids and sugars. They are used to prepare both sweet jams and marinades, as well as pickles and vegetable caviar.

Growing physalis - general information

Physalis can be grown in almost any soil. There is one exception - land with high acidity. On acidic soil, the plant will not develop to its full potential and may be susceptible to disease. Such soils will have to be limed. The best tasting fruits ripen on sandstones.

It is best to plant physalis after cruciferous vegetables (cabbage) or after pumpkin plants (cucumbers). Ideally, the predecessors were grown on fresh manure.

1. In the fall - laying manure in the soil.
2. In spring - growing the predecessor.
3. In autumn, the soil rests.
4. Next spring - planting physalis.

Advice! After nightshades, and especially potatoes, it is categorically not recommended to grow physalis in this place - the diseases are the same, the plants will certainly be susceptible to them.

If fertilizers were not applied to the previous crop, before digging in the fall, preparing the bed for physalis, add 3-4 kg of manure per 1 m², not fresh, but rotted or peat.

In early spring, the soil on the ridge is not dug up, but only loosened, periodically, every week until planting time. A week before planting seedlings or sowing seeds, the bed is dug up to 15 cm, the surface is leveled and physalis is planted according to the 50x70 pattern.

Important! Physalis is very fond of nitrogen, especially at the initial and middle stages of development, so it will not be harmful to add liquid chicken droppings or slurry to the planting holes when planting seedlings or sowing seeds, and then fertilize the plants 2-3 more times during the first half of the growing season.

Physalis vegetable: cultivation and care

This vegetable is noted for its resistance to low temperatures and excellent yield. Belongs to plants of the same growing season. It has large fruits weighing up to 50 grams, which are well stored for a long time. Most often grown by seedlings.

Step-by-step agricultural technology for vegetable physalis

Most often, this species is grown by seedlings. This technique will allow you to get an early harvest of physalis.

The first step is preparing the soil

Of course, before you start sowing, you need to prepare the soil, containers and seeds. Physalis is not very picky about the composition of the soil. Any soil is suitable, limited only by the acidity level - it should not be higher than 4.5.

Standard soil recipe:

• two parts peat soil;
• part of vegetable or leaf compost;
• one part of garden soil (for better adaptation of seedlings when planted in garden soil);
• ½ part sand (medium grain - too fine can be compressed and sour).

Advice! Humus is added to the mixture (but avoid fresh manure). No other fertilizing is required at the seed sowing stage.

The second step is choosing containers

It is good to sow vegetable physalis in containers in fairly dense rows - row spacing is 8 cm, the distance in the row is 6 cm. Subsequently, picking is carried out to remove weakened seedlings and transplant healthy specimens into personal pots.

There is also a method for those who do not want to waste time picking and replanting. Two seeds are sown in the center of a pot with a volume of at least ½ liter. Then the weak sprout is removed, leaving room for the strong seedling to develop. It is also good to sow physalis in peat cups.

The third step is preparing the seeds

Vegetable physalis have medium-sized seeds, slightly smaller than tomato seeds. To reject seed material unsuitable for sowing, it is best to use the proven salt method.

An aqueous solution of table salt in the proportion of a tablespoon per glass is the basis for soaking the entire mass of seeds for a short time. Those that float up are removed - they are empty and do not have an embryo. The rest are washed, dried, and kept for a third of an hour in the Fitosporin disinfectant solution. They are dried again (without washing) and sown.

Fourth step - sowing and initial care

Sowing is carried out at a centimeter depth. The seeds are sprinkled with soil, which is slightly compacted. It is necessary to water the soil surface with a spray bottle and cover it with film.

Place the crops in good light and at a temperature of about twenty-two degrees. Ventilation is carried out periodically. The soil is regularly moistened. Shoots can be expected after a week. The film is immediately removed.

Fifth step - growing seedlings

If picking is necessary, it is carried out at the stage of the appearance of two true leaves. At the same time, the weak seedling in an individual pot is removed. The temperature is maintained as during sowing. Watering is not frequent, but plentiful. Feeding with mullein (aqueous solution 1:10) or bird droppings (1:20), plus wood ash, is carried out every three weeks.

Important!The fertilizer should not get on the leaves and the upper part of the stem. It is carried out only at the root in the soil.

It is necessary to monitor the humidity so that it does not exceed it, otherwise the seedlings will get blackleg. Drafts are also dangerous, although seedlings need fresh air. It is better to illuminate not directly, but with oblique rays or with shading.

Sixth step - disembarkation

Physalis vegetable is resistant to cold, but at the time of planting seedlings, the soil must be thoroughly warmed up. Therefore, seedlings should not be moved into the ground before the end of April. And a few weeks before planting, the seedlings should be hardened off. The area for physalis cultivation is protected from gusts of wind and drafts. The sun should be present there for most of the daylight hours.

Note!Direct rays damage the plant. Therefore, it is better to plant physalis close to trees and bushes that will create shading.

Transplantation on a sunny day can only be done in the morning or evening. On cloudy days - all day.

The seeding order is “checkerboard”. The distance between the seedlings is about 40 cm. The depth of the hole is prepared at a distance from the roots to the first leaves. Be sure to water the hole before planting. After it, the soil is also watered and mulched.

Features of care

The plant is considered unpretentious, but certain agrotechnical rules still exist.

1. Watering should be regular and abundant, but only after the top layer of soil has dried.
2. After each watering, if the plants are not mulched, it is necessary to loosen the root soil. Physalis roots need a lot of oxygen.
3. It is necessary to remove weeds so that they do not interfere with the development of plants.
4. Feeding is carried out throughout the growing season. Minerals do not need to be used; organic matter is enough in the same proportion as for feeding seedlings, but in large volumes. Fertilizing is given after watering at least once every three weeks.
5. Physalis does not need pinching or pruning. Therefore, further actions are limited to harvesting the crop as it ripens.

Fruit harvesting begins two months after planting on the seedling site. They are harvested in dry weather.

Attention!Those fruits that you did not have time to collect and that fell to the ground are also quite suitable for food and processing. You just need to make sure that they are not rotten or damaged by insects.

After the harvest is complete, the physalis stems are pulled out of the soil, disposed of, and the area is dug up.

Ornamental physalis: cultivation and care

This plant is a perennial, famous for its amazing unpretentiousness and resistance to low temperatures. Even novice gardeners will not have problems with agricultural technology. Its stems with original “lanterns” are used to decorate apartments, create dry compositions, and ikebana.

Note! Unlike other species, decorative physalis is most often sown with seeds in the ground. You can do this procedure as early as the end of April.

The decorative species reproduces itself, that is, by self-sowing. You only have to sow the seeds once. Then you just need to make sure that the plant does not fill the entire area. It is also recommended to thin out shoots that grow too often so that the rest of the bushes have enough space to develop.

Decorative physalis is an excellent decoration for a summer cottage

Seeds are prepared in the same way as vegetable seeds before sowing for seedlings - they are soaked in salt and a disinfectant solution.

The soil is loosened before planting. Planting is carried out in shallow furrows - 1-2 cm. Mulched with peat.

Advice!Measures for caring for decorative physalis are similar to vegetable crops. Watering can be done less frequently. Two feedings per season are also sufficient.

This species is not removed from the soil in winter; its stems remain in the soil. They need to be cut to the ground. In spring the plant will produce new young shoots.

Physalis strawberry: cultivation and care

The small-berry variety is distinguished by the fact that its fruits weigh only up to 10 grams. It is more thermophilic than all other species. Therefore, it is grown only through seedlings.

Interesting fact!The plant is annual and self-pollinating. It can be grown not only in the garden, but also on the windowsill in a pot. Grows up to 40 cm

Difficulties can arise only due to a longer ripening period. The fruits of physalis berry begin to be collected only 2.5 months after planting full-fledged seedlings. And the entire growing season of the plant is about one hundred days.

It will not be possible to plant seedlings earlier than vegetable species, since the plant is afraid of cold weather. On the contrary, seedlings move into the soil only at the end or middle of May. Thus, the berries ripen during the second half of August.

Note!The berries have a very subtle interesting taste with strawberry elements and a delicate texture. They are prized by gourmets in their raw form and are used for jams and marmalades.

It loves water even less than a vegetable plant - even in the hottest weather, it is enough to water the plant twice a week. Feeding, loosening and other activities are the same.

The gradually ripening crop is harvested before the first frost. If the berries have not yet ripened, they can be collected and ripened indoors. Another option is to dig up berry stems with roots, tie them and hang them in a warm room from the ceiling.

Cultivating physalis is an interesting, uncomplicated and useful activity. This plant will help diversify the garden and garden assortment, decorate the house and serve as a supplier of valuable vitamins.
