Found these in my perrenial garden, must be seeded from the previous owners of this farm.

So what do I have ? There are tiny green fruit inside the husks.

I haven't grown tomatillos in at least 30 yrs. and I only grew them once, but I do remember that the fruit was very sticky. Wait for the husk to dry.

They look like a weed we have here. They don't look like tomatillos to me the leavs are wrong.

Please don't eat till you have a sure fire ID on them.
Many plants that look like this can kill you in a horrible way.

Worth.

There are no ripe fruit, they are still very small.

Probably just a weed.

I agree with Worth. The leaves don't look anything like tomatillos.

The closest I can come up with is [I]Physalis longifolia[/I] (Longleaf Groundcherry). It's considered a noxious weed. The berries should be cooked before consumption.

Much more info. and guidance for positive id at:

My knowledge, on this subject, is so infinitesimally small that I will defer to the more cautious and knowledgeable Worth. :yes:
