tomatillos--real easy; I do most in pots.

Only thing to know is some varieties are shippped because they ship well,
not because they taste great. They may not be hardy for your zone's bugs 
and temperature vs
the zone of origin; they may sprout, but never produce;  the variety is 
not on the label;  HOWEVER: tomatoes and hot
peppers should be easy though. Buy bruised at 1/2 price and experiment.
Not tree-grown fruit though. That could be hybrid or grafted.
I discovered cherry tomatoes producing fruit under my grapefruit tree 
after Hurricane Andrew---I never planted them, they were blown in--I 
didn't even have a garden.
Go for it--t's a good way to learn. Plus, planting in pots keeps your eye
on things, and your experiment doesn't wash downstream.
