Tomatillos and Ground Cherries
-
Toma Verde Tomatillo
Produces large green tangy fruits. After last year's blight we became well acquainted with tomatillos and fell in love with it's versatility as a raw or roasted salsa and as a main component in chili. Super prolific growers you will be inundated with fruit. Just freeze what you can't eat and continue to enjoy throughout the winter as we did. Tart when young and sweeter as it ripens, you choose the flavor you like. 60 days.
