  1. What began as a worrisome crop of weeds that popped up at the beginning of summer turned out to be...#TOMATILLOS!! Cooking the dodgier ones down as I type this for use in soups, salsas, and stews. #accidentalgardening #foodstudies #foodhistory #Physalis

  2. Now that's what I call a sticky situation. Peeling tomatillos from the garden. These were rescued before the mid week frost came through.

    Last ones of the season I guess.

  3. first time buying #tomatillos. not sure what to do with them. we also have a #dehydrator. could i make some sort of crispy #tomatillo discs for adding to sandwiches?

  4. The very last garden haul before the yesterday's night's frost

  5. @Knightky and I put the garden to bed for the season. Surprisingly enough, there were ripe raspberries and one bean. I harvested the last of the rhubarb and am baking a pie to celebrate. I'm also cooking up some parsnip from the garden. I have about a cup of tomatillos and a few cups of green tomatoes. What shall I make with them? #harvest #gardening #pie #GreenTomatoes #tomatillos #rhubarb

  6. I picked some tomatillo today too, most of them had fallen off which I noticed after turning the water off.

  7. First #tomatillos this year
    (Plus the usual golden #tomatoes from my late grand mother's seed stock)

  8. #Tomatillos are still far from being ripe. Last year I already had the first harvest...

  9. It's not *quite* time to put stuff out yet here in Zone 3, but I've been getting some things started in the #SIP bins under indoor lights - pictured are two kinds of sweet #peppers (I had amazing results in one of these bins last year with three pepper plants - creep my media) and those #Tomatillos I was talking about earlier - they're a bit spindly but they'll be okay.

    Still have tomatoes cukes and melons to sort out and not enough bins...

  10. Planted some tomatoes and tomatillo this morning after moving some sunflower seedlings. There was a bunch of 2 year old decomposed pine shavings mixed in too before I added some slow release nitrogen and some organic 3-5-4 (chicken compost and potash plus bacteria/myco).

    They don't look great now but most of what's below the trellis comes off so it doesn't really matter. I haven't put the metal stake in they get tied too yet.

    Ok so, regarding my #Tomatillos question earlier, I found this guy.

    The gist is, unlike #Tomatoes, 'tillos cannot self-pollenate, so you *must* plant at least two together.

    I can put the Verde and Purple together in the bin and each will produce their own cultivar's fruit, BUT...

    if I save the seeds, they will be hybrid seeds. If I want to save seeds, I need to keep the two cultivars relatively distant, but if I can afford to buy more seeds, no biggie.

  12. Hey #Gardening #Tomatillos

    I have Super Verde and Purple tomatillo cultivars sprouted. Last year I put three generic green tomatillos from the supermarket in one of my SIP bins and it exploded, I was giving them away (haven't gotten brave enough to do canned salsa).

    What I'm wondering is, can I put two green and one purple into a bin together, or will that result in some weird cross pollination?

  13. This year’s last #tomatillos and #peppers fried with sour cream.
    Yum.

  14. I made fire-roasted #salsa this afternoon, with Anaheim, poblano, and guajillo #peppers, plus #tomatoes and #tomatillos. The result is deliciously tangy, with only the faintest hint of heat in the finish. It’s mild enough for my kids to eat. #cooking

  15. Green tomatillo chutney cooked and canned today. Cooked it about 2 hours or so to get what I figure is a good consistency.

    Pics of just starting to simmer, 1.5 hours in, and 2 hours.

    Followed but mostly tomatillo, slightly more apple, honey instead of sugar, and half the onion was dry chopped. I had to make the spiced vinegar but I had the proper pickling mix minus the sus hot peppers that are in it, used apple cider vinegar.

  16. First time working with #tomatillos. I've done this with #tomatoes before, it works best with tomatoes that are small, meaty or unripe because they tend to get pretty soft as they ferment.

  17. Got 7 pints out of 7+ lbs/3.2kg of tomatillos, 6 cups/1.5 liter of course chopped peppers, and 3 average sized bulbs of garlic.

    Ignore what might be really old lids, they sealed up great!

  18. Garden update! My tomatillos are starting to really bear fruit. The most amazing thing is how resilient these little blighters are. They've been blown over by the wind, chewed up by snails, had bit fall off as a result...

    The bits that were knocked off the plants were dutifully put in water, grew roots, and were repotted meaning that from 18 seeds I've now got a yield of 20-21 healthy plants!

  19. Gardening update! @alice_swaggen just sent me some progress on my #tomatillos and #kabocha #pumpkins. We've beenhaving a problem with the fruit turning yellow and rotting on the vine, but this big boi looks like he might hang around!

    The tomatillo fruit are finally closing back up their paper lanterns to mature; getting excited now!

  20. These goddamn plants know that summer is coming! My kabochas are monstrous now, the tomatillos are exploding, my chilli's are flowering and my strawberries are looking good!

  21. Gardening update! Just a few pictures of the work @alice_swaggen and I did on the garden this weekend. Amazingly 100% of my tomatillos seem to be surviving! 😁
