I really enjoyed growing tomatillos. I grew them in 12 gallon grow bags. I put 2 plants in each bag and used a large sized tomato cage over the bag. This arrangement worked out well. If you use this method, you'll still have room for Dahlias.

BTW, I grew Toma Verde and Merida varieties. The fruit on the Merida was quite small. It also took longer to fruit. Perhaps, this was my fault since I started it from a seed and put it out too early.

The Toma Verde had large fruits that were quite sweet. The taste was very good, but I would still grow a second variety for taste variation. The Toma Verde plants were from a local nursery.
