I am zone 5. I have grown tomatillos the last two years. They grow here okay. Like weeds and seed down and come up and still make. I grow both green and purple. Purple are sweeter. Purple are smaller by a lot. I start like I do tomatoes and set out. They say they also make good jam. Have not tried it. Last year lost most plants of them hardening them off but had lots of volunteers in the garden and set them in a row. They did fine.
