Tomatillo
Looking for something unusual to grow!
Tomatillo is becoming very popular,
it is easy to grow, heavy cropping, fruits are used in salsa and Mexican
cuisine. Tomatillo is grown the same way as tomato and prefers warm growing
conditions, they can be grown outdoors in a warm sheltered spot after hardening
off but will prefer the warmth of a greenhouse (Images show tomatillo grown
outdoors against greenhouse in grow bags). Fruits are about the size of a
large cherry tomato and are covered in a thin paper husk. Tomatillo is not
self-fertile you must have a minimum of 2 plants to get fruits. Sow February to
April Harvest August to September

The cultural
information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number of different
sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem
to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only,
you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a
rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed
like Lobelia Begonia etc requires no cover.
