Organic Green Tomatillo Tomatillo Seeds

This Green Tomatillo variety grows 8-foot vines that produce green husk tomatoes that weigh about 2 Oz each. This variety originally came from Mexico and so grows well in hot climates, and takes about 100 days to produce tomatillos. Approx. 50 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Start the seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4" deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots; bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants. A week before planting the seedlings outside, begin exposing them to the weather during the day to harden them; tomatoes cannot endure cold weather, and should not be transplanted outside until all threat of frost has passed.

Growing: Tomatillos grow best in hot sun and well-drained, somewhat rich soil. This plant should be provided with a trellis or support, since this protects it from various pests and diseases in connection with too much soil contact. Put the supports in place before the seedlings develop vines. As the vines begin to grow, tying them to the support helps their development.
