Naranjilla, Goldenberry, Giant Ground Cherry, Marshmallow plant

The first pic is the naranjilla.  It is the fuzziest plant I have, and it enjoys strong light.  The second picture is the goldenberry which is suppose to be the same species as the third picture which is the older giant ground cherry. The goldenberry also does not grow well in dim light or dry conditions.  The fourth picture is the marshmallow plants I started on March 3.  Be careful a few have died from being dried out. Here in the fifth picture is the beetberry, these are tough plants that mostly take care of themselves.  The final picture is a treat. It's a sea buckthorn, an important member to the family as it is a superfood that fixes its own nitrogen and can grow in cold and dry climates.  They can take a bit of drying out without wilting, but are slow growers. Remember that I have documented the germination of all of the plants listed in previous posts.
