The tomatillo, also known as the Mexican husk tomato, is a plant of the nightshade family bearing small, spherical and green or green-purple fruit of the same name. Tomatillos originated in Mexico and were cultivated in the pre-Columbian era. A staple of Mexican cuisine, they are eaten raw and cooked in a variety of dishes, particularly salsa verde (green sauce). The tomatillo is a perennial plant but is generally grown for agriculture each year as if it were an annual.

Soil and climate requirements
In general, tomatillo plants are tolerant to many different soil conditions. However, they do best in well-drained, sandy, fertile soil conditions with a pH between 5.5 and 7.3.[10] Tomatillo plants are cold sensitive.[11] They grow best at 25 to 32 °C (77 to 90 °F). Below 16 °C (61 °F), growth is very poor.[9] Tomatillo plants prefer full sun exposure and warm locations.[12]

Seedbed requirement and sowing:

Transplanting is the most common practice to plant tomatillo plants. Transplants are produced in greenhouses or in transplant beds. Germination occurs at 20 to 27 °C (68 to 81 °F).

Transplanting occurs 6 to 8 weeks after seeding and when risk of frost is past. Transplants that were produced indoors need to harden off in a warm, sunny place for a few days before being planted outside.

Direct outdoor seeding can only be done if no frost risk exists, and soil temperature is higher than 15 °C (59 °F). Direct outdoor seeding leads to shortening of the vegetation period. Due to its branching growing pattern, a single plant requires sufficient growing space. Tomatillos are typically grown in rows 0.7 to 1.6 m (2.3 to 5.2 ft) apart. Although tomatillo is a perennial plant, overwintering is difficult, so it is normally cultivated as an annual plant.
