Hi Diane,

My tomatillo's are about 5 feet high and loaded with fruit, but it looks
like it takes for ever before the first husk shows up.
I thought also that it didn't work... but today  the tomatillo's are so big
that some of the husks already burst open and shows the fruit.

Good luck growing

don't see any fruit! this is the first time I have grown them. When do they
start fruiting? I have lots of bees to pollinate the flowers, so what is
going on with the plants? Is this normal?
