Harvesting volunteer ground cherry

Nice, the volunteer in among the zinnias in the SE central bed is producing a nice surprise harvest after I had to tear out all the other plants because they were feeding the rat(s).  No rodents have found this ground cherry plant yet, as evidenced by the undisturbed fruit on the ground.  Yay!

Also I haven't seen any rats in several weeks now.  I think removing their food source (the row of ground cherry plants, plus adding a seed-catcher tray to the birdfeeder), removing their compost bin hideout, plus clearing out junk around the kitchen step did the trick.
