Description

The listing, 2 lbs. homegrown tomatillos has ended.

These are homegrown from volunteer seeds from last year's garden. Great for salsas, or some eat them just as is. These grow like crazy in the heat of NW Arkansas and I'll be picking fresh ones every day or two for months to come.

Sorry, on these, it's pick-up only.

I like food luck! In addition to the credit, I will trade you some diatomaceous earth for those tomatillos!

I have a stupid question, where can I get tomatillo seeds?

Hey, if you send me your address I'll send you some tomatillos that have fallen off the plants. They won't survive mailing for eating, but my guess is, if you throw them on the ground where you want them to come up next year some of them will probably come back for you. Let me know if you want to try it...Marge

Not a stupid question at all, because they're not available at most seed companies.
I originally ordered them three years ago from I believe the Ed Hume Seed Company. Even though they weren't marked as heirloom seed, they've been coming back up from the prior year's re-seeding ever since. All the seeds I got from Ed Hume Seeds did well.

This year I saw them available in Johhny's Select Seeds catalog. It's an employee owned company and has a great free catalog (not to mention over 325 organic products). All the stuff I ordered from them did real good, too.

I've never tried saving seed from these since they've come back on their own every year. They're actually a variety of the cape gooseberry, not related to the tomato, so I'd have to research how to save them. If I figure it out, I'll list some later in the season.

Thanks for your question.

Thank you. I can look into the seed companies you mentioned. I just started gardening this year and love it. I did not think I would but I really do. My husband and I watch Chopped on the Food Network and have started trying new things because of the show. Tomatillos is one of the new things we tried. My husband loves them. I thought it would be great to grow them with the cilantro seeds and jalepano seeds I just bought on here. Plus our tomato plants. Thank you for answering my question.

I've only been gardening for 3 years (since I moved to the sticks) and really enjoy it, as well. I've read that tomatillos should not be staked like tomatoes. The ones I let go loose did a lot better than the ones I tried to stake. Just leave them a fair amount of room to spread out.

They make an awesome green salsa with cilantro, jalepanos, garlic,onion, salt, a little tomato and about 1/2 a haas avocado. Let me know if you want my recipe. It's a goodie.
