Does anyone here have any experience growing tomatillos? I've read about them, and everything I read says they grow from 3-4 feet tall. Problem: Mine are already 3 feet tall and just exploding, I can't believe how fast they are growing! They are bigger then my tomatoes, and I planted them at the same time. At this rate, they will easily hit 6+ feet by the end of summer.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm building tellises for my tomatoes, and I'm making them 7.5 feet tall (because last year they outgrew the 5 foot fence and the weight of the plants knocked it over. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and make the tomatillo trellis the same size - I probably will since I'm mass producing the tomatoe trellises. But I'd like to hear from anyone who has grown tomatillos.
And tonight I'll post pics of my tomatillo infestation. OMG, I have thousands of them growing wild, and some of the volunteer ones are 2 feet tall and growing fast, it breaks my heart to pull them out. They make good weed control, because there are no weeds in my garden that can keep up with the wild tomatillos.
