Seed Needs Tomatillo Seeds for Planting Grande Rio Verde Tomatillos - Non-GMO Heirloom & Untreated - Grow a Home Grown Outdoor Vegetable Garden - Great for Salsa & Mexican Cuisine (1 Pack)

Update 7/17/20: I just made my second batch of salsa last night! I got at least 20 tomatillos from my 3 plants just yesterday. I didn't realize how many were ready! My first harvest I got about 15 or so and made salsa from that. Awesome salsa! Some of the tomatillos were as big as the ones in the store, but some were smaller, but I credit that to my lack of fertilizing, not the seeds.OriginalI've never grown tomatillos, at least from seed. This is my first time doing so and they're doing awesome.I planted 6 seeds, and all 6 seeds germinated. I planted them in fabric grow bags with 2 plants in each one, so I have 3 plants/pots. I put a large tomato cages around them when they were getting tall enough to fall over from the wind. I'm not using tomato cages anymore for my tomatoes (they outgrow them too quickly), so I had extra tomato cages lying around. Now that i've seen how tall they get, I don't think i'd grow tomatillos withOUT them. They're pretty wimpy little plants, although, I think they can just lay on the ground like a bush or vine and just kinda do their own thing without support. But I wanted them to be upright, so the cages are the way to go.I live in northern california and we have an extremely long growing season. we have been getting 80+ degree weather since april, and we've already had a few stretches of ~100 degree weather. We're in a stretch of them now (great for the plants, sucks for the humans).I always buy tomatillos in the grocery store, but with the pandemic, I'm not buying any produce at the store that i don't cook (zucchini, potatoes into fries, bell peppers on pizza, etc) or that i can't rip the skin off of safely (watermelon, onion, banana, etc). We are a "chips and salsa for breakfast lunch dinner" family and we can't do without our salsa. So, we're growing all the ingredients for salsa at home this year. We have tons of tomato, bell pepper, and jalapeno plants. And we almost forgot our make-or-break ingredient: Cilantro from seed, easy.In past years, I remember trying to find Tomatillo plants at the store and I could never find any. For some reason they never come out in the stores until like really late in the season. By that time, it's too hot for me to do much outdoors and I'm just like "screw it, i have enough stuff to water." Plus, I don't want to wait til august or september for tomatillos: I want tomatillos NOW!!!So I got on Amazon and found these seeds. I started the seeds of all my vegetables within the same week, so it was interesting to see what grew at what rate. The tomatillos germinated pretty quickly and the plants grew so well, they were growing faster than the baby tomato seedlings, but not quite as fast as zucchini. I had them in 4 inch pots / plastic drinking cups quicker than the tomatoes, and they were ready to go in the ground earlier than the tomatoes. They are now in 7-10 gallon fabric grow bags, they're about 6 ft tall, mostly stalks for the bottom half of that height, and then bushy on the top half. There are so many of the "paper lanterns" hanging off of them already. I guess the outer husk grows first, then the tomatillo grows inside of it. Pretty interesting. There are tons of flowers on all the plants and the bees are going nuts on them; there's gotta be like 10 bees on the plants at any given time.I'll try to remember to update this if/when I get tomatillos that are ready to eat! It's been a crazy growing season so far.

Quality seeds. They sprouted in about two weeks. I planted a couple together since they don’t self pollinate. Looking forward to planting them outside.

Slow growing. But I am learning .

Great germination rate.Plants are doing great and have no complaints on the quality of the seeds

I planted extra because I did not know how many would grow. I believe that every seat I planted is growing and doing well. These seeds have done better than some of the top name companies I have bought from.

Good quality popped up right way!

All seeds germinated! Great seeds.

None germinated??
