I have quite a number of tomatillos in one of my polytunnels . This is
the second season I have grown them. We have a good set again but some
plants have lots of blossom but no fruit as yet, others have lots of
fruit set. The same happened last year and the fruit was variable in
colour but we got plenty of fruit in total. It would seem that you
always get a mixture of plants, so if you only have one or two plants
you could be unlucky. Allan
