Tomatillo Lanterns

This is my first year to grow Tomatillos.

I didn't know they were going to be humongous plants,

somehow I had the idea they were ground cover...

Didn't do my research!

What I've learned is they grow big

and they grow zillions of yellow blossoms

then around the blossom a lantern grows.

The lantern is empty at first

then starts to fill with the fruit.

Here is a shot of the plants.

I did research just enough (the worker at the nursery told me)

to know you need to plant 2 plants for pollination.

And below, the cherry tom and a Jack bomb.

Happy growing to all!
