Tomatillos are small, round fruits (typically 4-6 centimeters in diameter) encased in a papery husk. They are primarily green but can also mature to yellow or purple.
Tomatillos, also known as Mexican husk tomatoes, are an essential ingredient in various culinary dishes, providing a distinctive taste that can enhance your produce selection.
Tomatillo plants are bushy and can grow up to 1-1.5 meters in height and spread. They require support such as staking or caging to keep the plants upright and facilitate fruit harvesting.
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Maintain a temperature of 21-24°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings into the garden when they have at least two true leaves and after the last frost has passed. Space plants 60-90 cm apart in rows 90-120 cm apart to accommodate their bushy growth. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Provide support with stakes or cages to keep plants upright and fruits off the ground.
Tomatillos require cross-pollination for good fruit set.
