Mine have been doing well all season. They have had some irrigation; sometimes not what I would have thought was enough, due to inadequate water supplies.

I've had really erratic results with different strains of tomatillo seed. Probably the strain that does well in one place may not in another; but sometimes I've re-ordered what I thought was the same strain but had different results. Last year and this I've used E&R's strain, which they just call "Green"; they're larger than others I've tried, and did well both years. Both years this was the same seed batch. We'll see what happens next year when I order new seed.
