The DH is on a quest, like the knights of yore. Fortunately, he's not seeking to slay a dragon or rescue a fair maiden. He's tracking ground cherry plants. The ground cherry is a small yellow-husked fruit that is used in pies and jam. This is a memory from his youth and he's been trying to grow them for several years now, with no success. Seeds are expensive and rare. The ones he started in the house shriveled up when transplanted to the garden. Now, through searching and questioning friends and relatives, he's found an old lady in a small town who says they're growing wild in her back yard. He has permission to dig, so he's on his way west, armed with a shovel, a bucket and the GPS. Hopefully, this dragon is put to rest, once and for all!

I hope he has better luck then I, we tried the first year with our garden and no success. I have the recipe ready when they sprout ;)
He used to get mad at us when we were kids we would go out to the garden and gobble them up and he did not have enough left to make goodies with.
