I hnever did that but then right now i can't remember the specific variety that I grew. And once growing them you've got them forever since when they drop to the ground they eventually self seed with wild abandon.

Oops I should have wrote annual/perennial instead of det/indet. So tomatillos will live more than a year if grown in an area without frost?
