A place to share your GTS seed growing season. Did you receive tomatillo seed? What color fruits do you harvest? Share photo’s too and observations from the garden for the whole season. And…I grew both the GTS mix of tomatillo and ground cherry and didnt label the plants well. So Im not exactly sure whats in the photos and will have to share my harvest to see if I get ground cherries or tomatillos. LOL
My early indoor seedlings from the tomatillo mix started out strong but were sadly devoured by a rodent who chewed their way into my grow tent. The second round are in a flat and not super large but I’ll try and get them in the ground in the next week or so.
Me too, rodents are one of my challenges and getting plants grown large enough so they can survive being chewed on.
I don’t want to even think about the number of plants that guy ate in one night… peppers tomatillos, tomatoes it was a massacre. It chowed down on the sweet potatoes too but thankfully those are still putting out slips.
I feel your anguish, the ground squirrels stripped the leaves from tomatillo plants two fert tall, ate 3 plantings of sprouted lima beans and a 10 foot row of sugar snap/snow peas. But, didnt touch anything else..so those plants kept them busy enough for everything else to make it. The greenhouse is 20x40 and totally a jungle.
This is what I started with for the plug tray. The markers fell away so I wont know if I have tomatillo or ground cherries for the harvest. Its still to soon to make the determination since the fruits are small.
Wow! That is lush in there! I’d love to have a greenhouse like that someday.
Thanks, its always kinda a hot mess, overcrowded but full of food and seeds.
