Tomatillo

[Deleted]

I was convinced there was already a thread about Tomatillo's but I can't find it. I'm currently browsing next years seed catalogues and wondering about giving these a try ( I like to try and grow something slightly different just for the fun of it!! ;D)

Question is... anyone grown them before - how many Tomatillo's does one plant produce, and can you use them in anything other than Mexican salsa? (quite like Mexican food but don't eat a load of it!!)

Alternatively, post a reply if you've got an idea of something else I can try which is slightly different from the usual allotment veggies

Cheers

if you scroll down in the search function you will see the default for No of Days is 7, you need to change this, I always put 365 although we haven't been going a year yet it's just easier.

Thanks for that Busy Bee, I thought I was going mad!! Looks like Tomatillo's are off of the next years seed list...I don't like salsa that much!!

I grew them about 5 years ago - ooh, I thought, these look fun....they went MAD, filled one whole side of my 30' PT and I got about 15 fruits out of all that lot and they were VILE. Never again.

OK, I'm convinced now!! ;D
