I'm raising Toma Verde and Purple. The purples are hardly producing anything, while I can hardly keep up with the Toma Verdes. I have a fair number of pollinators buzzing around, so I'm not sure why the purple is so much less productive.

Ok, I've seen bees all around the pumpkins and wasps around the tomatoes, but haven't seen too many around the tomatillos. If you're right I should expect a sudden surge of production at some point.
