Rio Grande Verde Tomatillo

Really strong starts from this seed!

So far, this variety is doing excellent in my north Idaho climate. I started indoors the first week of May and planted out the first week of June. Germination was decent to good. (Can’t remember the specifics, but I planted the whole packet, and I had at least 20 plants. When potting up, I didn’t pot up all, so there were more that had germinated.)The stems are super thick and strong already— stronger, earlier compared to last year’s, actually (from a different seed company). Flowers are already forming in abundance. Last year, my 4 tomatillos produced buckets and buckets of tomatillos, so I have high hopes for the fruit of MIgardener’s. (I planted 8 starts and sold/gave away the remaining starts, so I should have tomatillos coming out of my ears!) Very pleased with these seeds so far & recommend.

So far so good

They are growing really well and excited to see how they produce. First time growing these.

Starting well

It took a while, but they did sprout in my mini greenhouse even though it’s been quite cold!
