Could anyone spare 3 or 4 Tomatillo seeds please. I've grown it before a few years ago - and I've got a craving to try it again!!

What on Earth is a Tomatillo?! ???
A cross between a tomato & armadillo? Or an armadillo eating tomato? If it's the latter I'm very interested in growing one of these!! ;D

Its a small round fruit that looks like a green tomato, what we use in Mexico to make salsa verde, and we call "tomate".

Tomatoes are used for red (roja) salsa, and are called "jitomates", or if you want the nahuatl words, they are tomatl and xitomatl respectively ;)

PM me if you want some seeds.
