Obviously, tomatillos are not in keeping with the mellow Canadian character.
I grew them one year at the apartment, and they didn't take over. The lemon
mint, though, is another matter.
*wanders off topic* I'm the chair of the Friends of the Scioto River, and
one of our activities is "invasives removal" which is taking non-native
plants out of the local parks. The biggest ones are honeysuckle and garlic
mustard. Recently I brought food to a meeting of the Columbus Recreational
Council, including Invasives Dip which I made by using garlic mustard leaves
like spinach, and some chives, all gathered from Northcrest Park outside my
back door.
