Growing Tomatillos this seasons has been one of our favorite things. Every couple days the plants were getting bigger greener and producing more and more flowers. We have a list of fruits and vegetables that love The Magnificent Garden Multi-Purpose Plant Food. And Tomatillos are definitely one of them. We fertilized 2 times a week and the results were outstanding.
We needed several stakes to help prop up the several larger plants. Not for the lack of plant stem strength, but the amount of fruits hanging. Even with the heat that Colorado has been suffering from our plants have been flourishing. Hailing from Mexico the Tomatillo grows best in warm temperatures. You can plant a tomatillo like a tomato or pepper. Tomatillos needs about 90 to 100 days from seed to harvest, so starting plants indoors or using transplants is the best method. Just as with tomatoes and pepper plants, it allows enough time for plants to produce a good harvest.
The tomatillo is an indeterminate plant, meaning it will keep on producing until the first frost. Much like other vegetable plants, picking often will force the plant into continual production.
If a plant becomes too full of ripening fruit, it will stop producing new blooms. As for potential harvests, we easily harvested a bushel+ from each plant. And yes, it makes incredible salsa verde!
