    I tried growing tomatillo, the damn thing is shooting flowers but nothing coming of it. The tomato plant next to it is already bearing fruit, almost ripe!

    Screw that thing, if I don’t see any fruiting by the end of the month I’m ripping it out of the ground!

      Tomatillos aren’t self pollinating, they need a buddy plant. I have two side by side in my garden and both are producing fruit.

        I did NOT know that, thank you. I’m going to prep a few more in my hydroponic, hopefully they’re not out of season just yet.

      Probably need at least two more tomatillo plants, and those might need two more each

      But I’m no mathematician
