Tomatillo: Grow the essential ingredient for authentic salsa verde! Tomatillos are tangy, firm green fruits, encased in unique, decorative paper husks, and are considerably easier to grow than tomatoes. These Mexican solanaceous staples (Physalis ixocarpa) deliver a bright, citrusy-acidic flavor that mellows beautifully when roasted, and they can be harvested at any size. Plant at least two plants for abundant, prolific fruit production.

• Growing Tips: Transplant 1-2 weeks after last frost, spacing 24-36 inches apart; requires at least 2 plants for cross-pollination and fruit set.

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (6-8 hours minimum).

• Preferred Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil; less demanding than tomatoes.

• Harvest Details: Harvest when fruits fill the husks and the husks begin splitting or turning papery tan, typically 70-90 days; fruits store for weeks in their husks in a cool location; best flavor when slightly underripe.
