From 3 or 4ntomatatillos I now have enough seed to take over the cul-de-sac!
Seriously, I am not supposed to plant these anywhere near tomatoes, am I?
I ask b/c I will have 2 growing locations this summer - WIDELY separated.

First of all, I would put at least two plants in any location. They do not cross with tomatoes in my experience. So, not a problem there. They DO cross easily with other varieties of tomatillos, though. So, I would not put more than one variety in any location. In 2009, I had one variety on one side of the house and another on the other side - roughly 75 apart with the house in-between.
Secondly, one or two plants will give you enough fruits to supply the neighborhood.
Other than that, they really add a delicious extra flavor to salsa and piquante.
