Re: tomatillos

It also depends on what variety your grow and what you want to use them for.
I understand that tomatillos used for salsa verde should be on the green
side.  A great variety is Toma Verde which, I think, is common in many seed
catalogues.

I've grown a couple of other strains - Indian & Mexican strain that both
Territorial and West Coast Seeds used to carry.  The fruit turn yellow and
sweet when ripe, not very good for salsa but yummy for eating fresh.

There are purple strains as well but never grown them.
