Maybe they're not getting pollinated. Not sure if
they're like tomatoes or not, but tomatoes inside must be shaken to distribute
the pollen to the other plants.

This is my first year with tomatillos. I am growing Toma Verde. I potted a
few of them up to 15 gal pots early on. They are huge and gorgeous and covered
with flowers. Here is the question. The flowers are a beautiful yellow but seem
to turn brown in the middle and then fall off. Is this normal for a tomatillo?
They have been doing this for a week or so but I have seen no sign of fruit
development yet. Any insight? The bulk of them are in the high tunnel and only
now beginning to flower. Thanks!
