Tomatillos

Sheryl:
Your problem with the tomatillo mirrors my experience last year.  I put
in one plant and it took over about 4 square feet. It was awesome!
Hundreds and hundreds of pretty little yellow flowers; bees all over
it.  I got nothing--not one beginning of a tomatillo.  I even went out
and tried pollinating some of the flowers myself. Nothing.

I sent a similar post to yours last year, but no one seems to know.  I
thought possibly you need more than one plant, but some one wrote that
she regularly planted just one.  Then I thought that maybe it was the
Rhode Island weather, but people in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with
similar temps had success.

Please let me know if you ever find out--I have a small garden and don't
want to waste space on a non-producer!
