About six growers sent in tomatillo seeds. Most of them said that the tomatillos are self-seeding in their gardens. (My favorite plant behavior).
How did they grow for you?

Not much to report yet. I started a few inside from the grex. Alongside some “chupon de malinalco” from baker creek that are supposed to be really large fruited. Will be an interesting comparison. And they will go next to each other for cross pollination and contributing seed back.

They didn’t grow very well for me and I usually can grow tomatillos like weeds. Hope they become a weed like Matt’s Wild Cherry, but didn’t have enough large fruit want to save seed. Loved the color diversity. Lots of small purple yellow tomatillos.
I harvested the tomatillos today. They grew great for me. I prefer super-sweet yellow or purple tomatillos, so I skipped harvesting some green-fruited plants. Like always, I tasted them before harvest, therefore I skipped harvesting some because of flavor.
