Tomatillo question - when are they ripe

**Snadger** · 15-08-2009, 10:32 AM

I'm growing tomatillo verdi which I don't think ever goes past the green stage?
Not much help I know............mine are only at the small lantern stage at the mo!

Good luck with your query Tony, I'm sure an expert tomatillo grower will be along soon!

oh oh oh, I want to know too. I was looking at them this morning

Mine are the purple ones and I have a few fruits and it looks like they are still growing.

I think they are ripe when the brack is yellow and papery. I harvested some earlier this month and they seemed ok.

Hope this helps.

I've always picked mine when they fill the cases and that's fine. As I use all mine for salsas etc so ripeness isn't important anyway. If they are splitting then I should imagine that they are well ripe!
