Originally, this post was about free tomatillo plants offered by Jean H last year. Those are no longer available, but sine this post includes helpful info about tomatillos, we will retain that part of this article.
If you’re not familiar with this delicious fruit (vegetable?), it looks a bit like a small tomato but has a papery outer skin. It is a key ingredient in Salsa Verde.
Tomatillos are not self-pollenating, so you need a minimum of 2 plants in order to produce fruit.
