Been reading all about your crops of tomatillos. What else besides Green
Salsa do you make with them? I have some coming next month from TX. and have
noi idea what to do with them. I know about the salsa and would like to
plant some but never saw one, where would I look to propogate the lefotvers?

Does anyone here have any experience growing tomatillos? I've read about
them, and everything I read says they grow from 3-4 feet tall. Problem:
Mine are already 3 feet tall and just exploding, I can't believe how fast
they are growing! They are bigger then my tomatoes, and I planted them at
the same time. At this rate, they will easily hit 6+ feet by the end of
summer.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm building tellises for my tomatoes, and
I'm making them 7.5 feet tall (because last year they outgrew the 5 foot
fence and the weight of the plants knocked it over. I'm wondering if I
should go ahead and make the tomatillo trellis the same size - I probably
will since I'm mass producing the tomatoe trellises. But I'd like to hear
from anyone who has grown tomatillos.

And tonight I'll post pics of my tomatillo infestation. OMG, I have
thousands of them growing wild, and some of the volunteer ones are 2 feet
tall and growing fast, it breaks my heart to pull them out. They make good
weed control, because there are no weeds in my garden that can keep up
with the wild tomatillos.
