Tomatillo harvest
August 28th, 2006
I harvested my first batch of tomatillos. They are slightly larger than a grape tomato. I’m sure they’re supposed to grow much larger, but I grew them in a planter box that was WAY too small for a 5 foot tall stalk. I made this salsa recipe with them. Reviews were favourable… though, I think I used too much cilantro.

A little then and now.
Tomatillos can grow to be 3 or 4 feet tall. Go tomatillos!

We have one “magic” window that gets just the right amount of light. I’ve tried to maximize the space using a quasi “square foot” gardening method (white planter boxes lined up in rows). The overflowing mint on the upper window sill covers a nasty blob of bird poo that we can’t remove (the window is stuck shut).

Great idea for a DIY trellis.
