Our Tomatillos seem a bit late this year, possibly due to the heavy rains at the beginning of the season. We are finally getting a few for Jay’s famous Salsa Verde. . . Yum! They are super easy to grow and they are inside these beautiful green husks. They get just tall enough where they need some staking. We braced them with a similar solution to our tomatoes with trellis netting and bamboo stakes. They drop a ton of seeds and will grow like weeds the following season so I highly recommend using black landscape fabric if you would like to keep some order in your tomatillo patch. I have tomatillo weeds sneaking out from underneath the fabric.

And by “famous Salsa Verde” she means our neighbors can’t get enough of it.

[...] Thanks to Danielle at Habeus Brulee for posting about these tasty looking thing-a-bobs. They look a bit like tomatillos, which Jenny & I have been growing successfully for a few years, but taste more like a tropical fruit I guess. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen seedlings for sale around here, so I’ll have to look into getting some seeds. [...]
