Check out my tomatillo seedlings which I started in mid February. I originally planted 6 seeds and decided to save 4 seedlings (two green tomatillos called Gigante Verde from Burpee’s Spanish Collection and two purple tomatillos from Ferry-Morse’s Latin Flavors). Now I am having second thoughts. I might like to have three of each color.  I still have time.
If you take a look at my Seeds to Start Indoors, I started the tomatillo seedlings about 4 weeks earlier than I typically do. While tomatillo stems are hairy like tomatoes, the stems are thinner and less sturdy.
The problem with starting tomatillos early is that they grow quickly and get tall and lanky and need support. That is why I keep kabob sticks handy to lend a little support!
