Tomatillos are one of my favorite vegetables to grow, because they are strong, fairly disease resistant, and are super delicious in salsas.
The purple and green Tomatillo seeds I ordered from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company last year yielded me lots of beautiful, healthy plants and many, many pounds of tomatillos. Marco and I harvested bucket after bucket of them, and were able to can dozens of jars of mild and medium green salsa.
As I was weeding my garden the other day I noticed something that looked strangely like a tomatillo plant. I was intrigued, and delighted when upon closer examination it was a tomatillo! A remnant from last year's harvest, this persistent plant got my attention! I was happy to dig it out of the weeds and plant it next to my other tomatillo plants.
Ah, gardening is such great joy!
