MY FIRST TOMATILLOS

After having some Tomatillo salsa last summer, I decided that this summer I would try to plant this very interesting Mexican plant.  The salsa was so amazing that I just had to give it a try. 
I did learn, however, as you will see below, this plant gets very tall.  Therefore, planting it in my raised bed table, was probably not the best idea!  Next year I know to plant it on the ground and use a tomato cage as well.


As you can see, the plant is very tall and towering over my pepper plants!



I bought my plants at Lowes 2/$2.98!

I will share the salsa recipe and further pictures of the actual Tomatillos once they are ready!  I can't wait!!!
