Tomatillo Planting, Growing, Harvesting - Enjoy this tangy twist on tomatoes!

Tips, Tricks

1. Growing some in my garden. Tons of blooms,only one fruit.
2. Can I do the pollination w/out the toothbrush somehow?
3. OK...I tried your method and also read somewhere that said I was suppose to grow a couple of tomatillo plants because it will help them to pollinate, so my question is....is it necessary to do so?  Thanks for your advice....
4. How many do you plant by each other
5. It may be used in Asian cooking but they originated in Mexico !
6. correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you needed two tomatillo plants for them to pollinate and produce fruit.
   I only see one in the video
   one giant plant at that.
   is there a certain brand of fertilizer that you recommend?
7. Your tomatillos will get bigger if you pick off some of the flowers. You will get less but they will get much larger.
8. I wish I had more of the spiritual wealth I need to work in my garden. I get so angry at times when I've been working hard and start thinking about people who have been bad towards me in the last few years since I've experienced so much bad luck! Great video by the way!
9. I have a question regarding growing tomatillos, and I hope you can help me!,I live in Valencia, Spain. Winter temperatures in the day (december-february) average around 61 degrees fahrenheit, and in the night 41 degrees fahrenheit. I have just bought some tomatillos and want to try and grow them on my terrace, and I don´t want to wait for spring, but everything I have read suggest to plant them inside and put them outside in spring. (after the last frost) I´m wondering if I can put them outside on my terrace in 6 weeks time and take them in if the temperatures during the winter will get frosty nights (30 degrees fahrenheit) or if it´s better just to keep them inside for the winter in a sunny window. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!
10. TOMATILLOS ARE NOT RELATED TO THE TOMATO PLANT.
    TOMATILLOS ARE A DIFFERENT SPECIES.
11. I like your video! I'm from canada ontario! This is my second year growing tomatillos I bought some seeds from "lowes" last year.i grew 2 plants 6 feet high!with lots of fruit on them.in the spring I had seedlings from last year's fruit that overwintered. I have 3 plants that I kept and they have very large fruit compared to your video? But I found that they were a bit more on the bitter side? When is the optimum time to pick them? BTW they are suppose to be the purple variety. Ty.
12. Great video. Do you have a recipe for this size. I didn't realize the plants I purchased would be this size and I have soooo many and need some ideas on how to use them. Thanks again for a great educational video.
    
13. Stacy hope this helps! I have found growing high yielding de-suckered tomatillos plants produce much better and are easier to harvest vs ones that are left alone. The suckers not only spend vital energy going to your fruit production they also protrude into the growing area of other fruit trying to grow in a refined space. Thus you may have some tomatillos that look like in this video. Then again who cares what they look like as there main purpose in the culinary world is to be made into an authentice salsa verde
14. Cool vid, but pulling suckers helps production in the fruiting stage. Think about it this way, a plant only has so much potential energy it can spend. You would need to find a nice balance of how much vegetation you have on the plant to allow it to spend it energy on fruit and not excessive vegitation.
15. Really well put together video. Liked how you took the time and showed us the plant at weeks intervals. Great video! Thanks!
16. The tag the tomatillo plant got from the garden store said to bury two thirds of the plant but i noticed in this video you only bury it to the top of the topsoil the plant comes in.
    
    So is burying two thirds of the plant necessary?(I am planting it in the ground and not a container/pot if that makes a difference)
17. Make that frost date 
18. My tomatillos came as sets from the local farmers market here in WV. I set them outside in containers around May 10, a week before the frogs date but they are fine. Small, about 20 inches tall and producing the first flower buds. They are developing what appear to be suckers, so I guess my questions are should tomatillos be suckered like tomatoes or left alone and also given our shorter growing season can I expect smaller yield ? Thanks in advance. I love your videos the best!
19. Good video! When is it a good time of the year to grow tomatillos 
20. nice presentation.
