Tomatillo Success

GoDawgs · July 13, 2019

My first effort at growing these seemingly easy plants last year was a bust. They all suddenly wilted although grown in containers and with the same potting mix the tomatoes were thriving in. Go figure. As I mentioned then, I always give every new thing three tries before I give up.

This year... success! The plants aren't as nice and full as those in photos folks have posted but they're making tomatillos! variety is Everona.

And today I picked the first ones as their husks were starting to split.

Now to make some salsa verde!
