Growing Tomatillo

View the Tomatillo page

03 May 14 Matt from Canberra (Australia - temperate climate)
I got my seeds of purple tomatillo posted to me from mudflower blog (living-mudflower.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/perennial-annual-vegetables-for-sale.html) and they are still producing a huge crop this year. They did not set fruit until the daytime temps dropped below 40. Prior to that they were flowering well but the heat dentaures the pollen proteins. Apparently they set fruit best when you grow more than one plant.
