Kirchren's Planted Tomatillos Out
Physalis philadelphica

Husk is turning yellowish on some. Maybe this means they are getting closer to harvest time!

Big storms have twisted the one tomatillo twice. This last time, I could see through the bent branch. Staked it back up and better. Built teepees for them and hope this will support them. Lost one fruit that was about 2" due to the storm as well.

There are tons of little yellow flowers all over it. Keeping fingers crossed that the one won’t die. There are new leaves up and down the stem though, so I may be able to cut it back and still have a plant to pollinate the other one.
