Hi All,



Harvested and tasted my first Tomatillo ever. ¡Ay, caramba!

Those things taste good! (4 grams carbs per 1/2 cup too!)



Figured out when to harvest them too. Wait for the fruit

to burst out of the wrapper, wait for the wrapper to turn

yellow, and wait for the stem to turn brown.



Wow. I could not believe how they tasted. My wife loved

them too. I can believe people make salsa out of them.



And they are growing almost out of control. I got about

25 more (green) fruit on the two of them too. I wish

tomatoes were so easy to grow. :-)

Yep, they're easy. Just leave a fruit or three on the plant and they will self-sow for next year, etc... in perpetuity.


Hi Steve,

Thank you!

They were $2.00 per plant from the nursery. Is it better
to self sow or to plant them were you want? We have hard
freezing winters around here. Any problem with self sowing
(sprouts all get frozen at lesat once before planting time)?
Can you transplant them? Save the seeds?

My wife and I are still trying to describe how they taste.
Noting really gets it. The closest is delicately sweet
with a non sour citrus zest, and the slightest hint of
honeydew (melon).
