We grew this plant thinking that it was a tomato. It turned out to be something different.
The plant is now about 5 feet high and has a profusion of yellow flowers that develop into seed pods, that look like Chinese lanterns.
I'm tempted to think it may be a Cape Gooseberry, except for the fact that the seeds are tiny and they appear hard and inedible. Perhaps our cool UK climate will not allow them to ripen.
Has anyone any ideas? If it were a ripe Cape Gooseberry, how on earth are they eaten?
