Tomatillo plants - Are they worth growing?

[21again]

I like both .

If you haven't ordered already, I can send a few of each if you would like, (both self saved).

Thanks very much Poly, just sent you a PM.

Knew I had a piccies somewhere, thought it was better than this but this is a piccie of one of my plants taken early September last year.

That looks great Alison, what height did it grow to?

Probably about 5 ft tall but not far off the same spread. I think that different varieties can vary though.

Blimey! I need to grow two, best I make sure I don't go mad with lots of tom varieties this year so I have room to grow the tomatillos.

I read this thread the other night, and have to confess that I had to look up tomatillos - thought they looked very interesting, and as we have a real thing about mexican food, thought I'd give them a go, but five feet tall!! Is that usual for them to grow that huge? I have got room for them though, it's just I had no idea they were such big plants. Hmm, dither, dither....

If you grow them once and don't like them you need never bother again
But you may love them so do you want to miss out

If you go for it, they are dead easy, just like a little space. Taste and texture is really nice, I've shared some with friends and they all seem to like them. If you want just a few seeds to try I'd be happy to send some.
