Re: ??husk tomato & herb eggplant pepper questions

I'm no expert on tomatillos, but we grew our first last year.  We direct
seeded and had one green and one purple.  We had LOTS of fruit on both, so
I suspect that they cross-polinated, if indeed the purple do need another
plant.

This year I've started tomatillos in flats.  Can anyone offer any
suggestions on transplanting?  Should I pot them up like tomatoes?  I'm SO
glad I took everyone's advise on potting those up, because the 14 plants
that I did this to two days ago look great!  Can I bury the stems on the
tomatillos?

Also, can I bury the stems on peppers (assuming they ever germinate, that
is:)) and eggplants?  I believe we discussed this a bit ago, but I can't
remember the answer:)

And one last question regarding herbs: I started epazote in my EPS flats
that just came up.  They're extremely small.  Can anyone offer any
suggestions for caring for them, and when and how to transplant?  And how
about starting basil indoors?  Is that advised?

Sorry for so many questions!  And thanks everyone for all the great tomato
suggestions!
