Tomatillos
|
Purple2-4 oz. • 70 days • Purple A beautiful tomatillo with superb flavor whether eaten fresh from the plant, grilled or in salsa. Harvest should be done when the fruits are golf ball-sized, and the papery husk has split. More sunshine will produce a more purple fruit. Note: Tomatillos are not self-pollinating, so planting 2 or more tomatillo plants in your garden will help ensure the blooms will be pollinated.¹ |
|
Verde Green3-6 oz. • 60 days • Green This tomatillo is a heavy and early producer and a wonderful choice for salsa verde since the larger fruits are easier to prepare. Note: Tomatillos are not self-pollinating, so planting 2 or more tomatillo plants in your garden will help ensure the blooms will be pollinated.¹ |
