Thanks for posting this url. I love tomatilla salsas with serranos and
have wanted to grow some for several years.
I found the site very informative and decided to do a search on the name
of the tomatilla book referenced in the page. I have ordered a copy of
the book, some purple, pineapple, and "regular" tomatilla seeds, and
some ancho pepper seeds from one of the search hits... a place called
Pinetree Garden Seeds. I have never heard anyone mentioning this source
before so hope they are reputable.
