Which variety of tomatillo did you plant?  One of them self pollinates, and
the other doesn't.  I can't remember if it's purple or green, though.
Sorry!  Can someone else speak on this?  I'm just remember the conversation
from last year on this subject (maybe it was on OGL?).  I've grown both,
but only with several plants.  They were always pretty prolific in our
Marin, CA garden.  So far they're doing well, but no flowers here in NY.
