Look for Tomatillo ‘Toma Verde’, producing light green, small, rounded fruits with flattened tops that are ready to harvest when their papery tunic or husk turns a wheat color and splits. This popular addition to salsas and Mexican cuisine is early to mature, but needs to be set out 1-2 weeks later than tomatoes in the garden. Bushy habit needs no staking
