Ground cherries might be a possibility, too. Less if you’re in an area where people are used to tomatillos, but I grow ground cherries and while they’re pretty in their own way, the immediate reaction I get to seeing one is “weed”, not “food”.

Exactly! Ground cherries are a great idea. When I first started growing tomatillas no one in my part of the state knew they were a food either.

Exactly ! That's the basic belief of a "guerilla garden"
"In plain sight, but unknown as a food plant", or plant camouflage.
