I can’t remember. Probably ebay but I think Green Harvest might have them. Very easy to grow. I just couldn’t come up with many uses for them. i thought they were nice just eaten raw but I’ve got a fussy family.

You can get a purple one as well. To me they tasted like a cross between a cape gooseberry and a tomato.

I’ll hunt through my seeds tomorrow and see if I’ve still got some. They’ll be pretty old but if you want to try them you’re welcome to them.

That would be very sweet of you Bubba. Yesterday whilst shopping, GF picked up a Mexican Cookbook and Tomatillos are very popular south of the border… so we thought about growing them.

If we find a crackin’ recipe, I’ll let youse know eh?

There’s about 6 seeds left. send me your snail mail and they’re yours.do you want some very out of date Kang Kong and/or Winged Bean seed as well.

I went through a compulsive seed buying phase and most of it never even got opened. :(

Why not…. it will help clear up your storage, so that you can get inspired to buy some new seed?

It’s on it’s way. I tossed in some extras for your succulent garden.
The ones that look the worst are actually very nice once you plant them.
