We've got a single #tomatillo plant in the garden and it not only fed squirrels for months it's produced lots of fruit for us too.
I just cooked up a batch of salsa verde and it's very tasty. Eager to have it for supper - over some turkey with rice and corn, and some tortillas.
There's lots of blooming and bees going on in the yellow squash, the tomatoes and tomatillo are taller than me, and the cucumber bed has no more beets.
The big leafy 'beets' had a big white root. Not sure what it is, maybe chard?

Ich habe zwar #Tomatillo - 's isch aber keine Krankheit
https://borncity.com/senioren/2025/07/06/ich-hab-tomatillo-schlimme-krankheit/
Ich fange den Beitrag mit einem Witz an: Nein, Tomatillo ist keine Krankheit, sondern eine Pflanze, die in meinem Garten wächst. Botanisch gehört sie zur Familie der "Blasenkirschen", und in Südamerika wird die Tomatillo (oder der Tomatillo) als Gemüse genutzt. Mich erinnern die Früchte an Physalis oder Lampionblumen, die ich auch schon im Garten hatte...
Watermelon, cucumber, tomatillo, and Amish paste tomato update.
There are lots of the sugar baby watermelon that had successful pollination. The first cucumber is growing and the tomatillo have rapidly expanding husks. The Amish paste tomato has set more fruit and they look to be the correct shape unlike the early ones that set.

The tomato and tomatillo plants.
They're growing fast and everything has tomatoes started except the Amish Paste. One of the tomatillo has grown enough to get started weaving it into the trellis.

I'm still a week or more out from planting anything. I might have to up-pot some plants into gallon pots. I trimmed the basil and put some of that in water to root. Jalapenos are looking funky, might just be bad genetic plants, I don't need any hot peppers and these are extremely hot jalapenos and not the mild kind they were suppose to be. Sweet peppers look good. No tomato problems except lack of space.

Tomato progress. So far nice stocky tomatoes since I've been able to keep it cool. The round pots are a mix of my experimental soil that killed all but one of the peppers.. 🤣 and some more recycled soil. The saved Campari seed ones are doing good and might be far enough along to pick a winner. Might pull a few and transplant if I get to it soon. The tomatillo is doing good too.

Tomatoes and tomatillo thinned to one, and the 2024 Gravenstein scion wood rooting attempt had lots of leaf. I put a little rooting hormone in the water but it's old so I've ordered some new. The cuttings are bagged and off to the side so they're not getting full light.
