My tomatillos have been growing great guns and they went in quite late. I had to move them onto the herb patch to get the bees interested and they may have meant they were warmer and more sheltered. Also the herb patch has pea gravel on it so that may have helped warm the compost from the bottom. Which all adds to the warmth theory. They are still fruiting and ripening. I am pondering what to do with them other than a variety of green tomato chutney. I may do a sort of "salsa" type chutney (ie make it up as I go along) unless anyone has some suggestions.
