Garden Huckleberry

Garden huckleberry (Solanum scabrum) is an African-origin annual grown for its jet-black, blueberry-sized fruit, which must be cooked before eating as raw berries contain solanine. Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost at 75–80°F and transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed. The bushy plants are prolific producers and generally need no staking. Harvest when all berries in a cluster have turned uniformly shiny black; cook with sugar and lemon juice to reduce bitterness and break down solanine before use in jams or pies. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 24–30 дюймів Висота: 24–48 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–29°C
