Growing Tomatillo

  • To maximize the pollination of tomatillo blooms, consider planting them in pairs during the spring season after the threat of frost has disappeared. This method ensures a higher chance of successful pollination.
  • During the planting process, ensure that you provide a stake or trellis for the seedlings to grow on. Keep them spaced 3 feet apart in a sunny area with fertile and well-drained soil.
  • In preparation for planting, fortify your soil by integrating several inches of aged compost or any other organic matter that is abundant in nutrients.
  • Ensure that the tomatillos receive a weekly watering of 1 to 1.5 inches at their base.
  • When tomatillos have achieved their optimal green color and their husks are fully developed, it is time to harvest them.
