Tomatillos

Does anyone grow tomatillos?  I love them and so do caterpillars!  They ruined my entire crop last year.  This year I planted them early and hopefully I’ll get a crop before the caterpillars become active.  I harvested 8 artichoke from the garden and a basket of green beans!  Yum.  No tomatoes yet though.

Speaking of tomatoes we are completely sold out, which is good because it’s really too late to plant them.  They simply won’t get to fruiting size before the heat sets in.  Once it gets hot tomatoes will stop producing fruit, go ahead and rip them out to make room for another crop–perhaps okra, cucumbers, melons or eggplant.
