The Lone Tomatillo-alone no more!

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!
