Last summer, I decided to get wild with my garden and tried growing purple carrots and ground cherries in my chilly zone 3 backyard. I was super skeptical at first—who knew these funky plants could handle the cold? But, wow, they totally thrived! The purple carrots popped up with the brightest color, and the ground cherries tasted like tropical candy, even though it was barely warm enough for shorts. Turns out, both of these plants are way tougher than they look. I just made sure to start the seeds indoors and gave them a cozy spot with lots of sun. Every time I picked a handful, I felt like I’d unlocked some secret garden hack. Growing something unique made the whole season way more fun and delicious. zone3gardening #uniqueplants #gardeningjoy #growyourown #zone3gardening #uniqueplants #gardeningjoy #growyourown #Gardening
