How to Use / How to Grow:
Start tomatillo seeds indoors or sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and provide consistent watering. Tomatillos benefit from space and airflow, and plants typically produce best when grown near another tomatillo plant for pollination. Harvest fruits when husks fill out and split slightly for peak flavor.
