Wow! A purple tomatillo! Not only delicious but attractive, too. The purple fruits are much sweeter than the green types and rich in beneficial antioxidants. Let the fruit remain on the plant as long as possible until the husk splits for the best flavor and color. Tomatillos grow best in conditions similar to tomatoes (because they are related) but will handle a lot more heat. Grow two or more plants to ensure good pollination.

    Huge!

    I started these indoors and transplanted them outside in the spring. I live in 8A and they are just starting to fruit. The plants are absolutely massive and thriving. I am so excited to harvest.

    Great photos! We're so excited for you as you approach harvest time - there's nothing quite like that anticipation when you can see the fruits just starting to develop on those beautiful, vigorous plants! Your success story really shows what amazing results you can get with proper indoor starting and careful transplanting. Keep on growing 🌻️
