Re: tomatillos and ground cherries

If you can grow tomatoes, then you can grow tomatillos. You start them 
about two weeks before tomato seeds because they are slow to start. Frost 
tender as for tomatos. Since most recipes call for green tomatillos, you 
don't even have to wait until they are ripe. The ripe ones arn't so 
great, we preferred the sunberries. Most seed catalogs carry them.
