Tomatillos & Ground Cherries

Page:
    1. A Description of Tomatillos & Ground Cherries

      History:Tomatillos and ground cherries are cousins, although different species, and originated in Central and South America. Both had made their way into North American gardens by the mid-1800's and were much beloved by the Pennsylvania Dutch in the U.S. in particular. Their fruit is encased in a thin, papery husk which splits when the tomatillo is ripe, or falls off the plant when the ground cherry is ripe. Cultivation: Easy to grow. Start indoors at the same time as tomatoes, sowing the seed on the surface of soil-less mix and lightly covering it. Transplant to the garden when temperatures and the soil have fully warmed, 3-4' apart. Companions: onions, chives, leeks, borage, marigolds, basil.
