I have been looking for ground cherry seeds. My daughter used to sit in the garden and eat them all. Loved them. I`ll call around todayKassaundra said:

I had no idea how large tomatillos got and planted 8 of them in a relatively tight spot. It's my first time growing them, but now I know not to crowd them so much. Mine are probably 3 feet tall and getting flowers now.

If you don't find any I can give you some from my plants, won't help you this year, though. Just remind me later into the growing season.sparks said:

I saw the ground cherries in one of my catalogs, thinking maybe it was Baker Creek. I considered ordering some. Let me know how you like them. If they're good, I'll order some next year.Kassaundra said:
I am thoroughly enjoying my garden this year. This is the first time in 2 years we've been able to have one, and I finally feel like "me" again.

3 plants! I hope you like Salsa Verde - you may have several bushels of tomatillos. They are fun to grow, they seem to be almost un-killable and get huge with hundreds of fruit.

We are growing them for the first time also. DW did not now how much each plant would produce so she bought 5 plants. Sounds like we will be in no danger of running out LOL. The guy we bought the from told us to pound a Tpost in and plant them around it in a 3 foot circle then tie them loosly to it. Sounds like this is going to be a crowded situation though. We will see.

Good process done here for growing the tomato. Here i would like to suggest a point regarding the ventilation and it is quite necessary as well as i think and required to get the humidity out of the air.

Tomatillos, not tomatoes. They are two completely different plants.

Do you think that I'd be able to grow tomatillos in Northern MN? How early would a person need to start them indoors? I typically start my tomatoes in the first week of March, but next year am going to start them in Early Feb. That's the only thing I really start indoors so I don't have any other comparison.

You'll need to plant more of them to get the same yield as they won't get very big by the end of the season due to a shorter and cooler season. Not really an ideal crop for your location but they should grow. Start them indoors about 2 months before the last frost, or around the first week of march would work too but the longer they're inside the more space they'll take up and the more light you'd want to give them so they don't get too leggy.sparkles2307 said:
