Default Do these tomatillos look right?

After reading this tomatillo forum I decided to give them a try as I'd love to put up some salsa verde. I bought 'Everona Large Green'. Looking at my seed catalog notes for the "why buy", I had a note that said this variety was large and pest/drought tolerant so that's why it got picked.

I grew three and during an early spate of rain right when they should have been planted, they got leggy. I missed the post about it being OK to plant them deep like tomatoes so they only got planted slightly deep with about 10" above ground. They're 4' apart.

Now they've grown a bunch and are pretty upright, so much so that I've very loosely tied them to a stake to keep them from falling over. There's not a lot of side branching. Does that come later? Overall, they're growing like crazy with a few blooms here and there.

Do these look right? About how tall will they get?
