Transplanted 36 Tomatillos

So I transplanted 36 good size tomatillos yesterday. Today, I cleaned out the duck house and put the bedding around the plants. I left about a 6" ring of open soil around each plant. I'm thinking these tomatillos are going to grow like crazy or croak from to much love. The bedding stinks to high heaven. :shock:

So what do you think :?:

Can you grow those up north or are they only a southern plant? I tried some salsa made with them and I must say that it really gives me the desire to grow them.

On a side-note: what's the pvc tubing for, a watering system?

Salsa verde, Yum! :D I sell a few pounds of quince to a mexican restaurant owner. Maybe he will be interested in local organic tomatillos.

Tomatillos should do ok here. I'll be using this old carport frame as a low tunnel. Cover it with plastic. :wink:

This was taken before the bedding was applied.

G-5 Apparently we can grow them up here in the north! I'm trying it for the first time this year. They have similar growing conditions as tomatoes. I got my first bloom this week!

Double Dog- Nice idea using the carport fame! Genius.

lg in ny,

Nature can be expelled with a fork, but nevertheless always returns

Thank you, I received two of these frames from neighbors after a wind storm. No legs, but perfectly good top frames. My plan is to have both of them up and covered with greenhouse film by fall.
