grows inside. When it looks big enough, I find that they are ready to
pick. I only had success one time with a tomatillo plant (altho' I have
another in the backyard right now) and I had no idea when things were
ready to harvest. But I found out quickly. I watched the husk part grow
and then the tomatillo itself started growing inside the husk. You can
feel if it is ready - if the tomatillo itself fills up the husk, and it
seems firm, then it is ready to pick. It might take some practice
figuring it out. 

Good luck.

last plant got)
