Healthy seedlings

I planted a few seeds in a module tray in my greenhouse, and they were the first seeds of the season to sprout! I didn't have very good success with tomatillos last season, so I sowed a few more seeds in each module for good measure. But all of them germinated, and they look very healthy! Excited to see how they grow.

Made the mistake of planting 6 seeds. Got 6 huge plants that took over my tiny, tiny garden. Literally hundreds of tomatillos! Tasty. Next time I will only plant 2. Luckily lots of neighbors here wanted some.

The seeds inside the Tomatillo seed packet were oddly NOT Tomatillo! All the seeds germinated but the actual tomatoes that grew were Artisian Stripes Pole tomatoes, and no, I did not mislabel the seeds!

I planted a dozen and every one of them germinated. I had tomatillos coming out of my ears. LOL.

Brought 7 plants to maturity, all 6-7 ft tall. Huge harvest (canned, frozen, sauces), plants still flowering and with imm. fruits until hard freeze of late Oct. Will be part of our 2022 garden!

These grew well in a pot and produced many fruit though on the small side. Fruit but turned yellow and sweet if left to ripen.
