I have few words of wisdom, but ...
I only had one tomatillo plant this summer. It grew well and flowered like
crazy, but no fruit. The bees loved the flowers, so I left it in the garden.
After about three months, I started getting quite a few very small fruit.
I posted a question on the gardens list about how I could have fruit with a
single plant, and was told they ARE self polinating.
I'll give them another try next year.
