"I learned the hard way that with one plant you don’t get very many fruit, if any at all. With 2 plants you’ll have pretty good production. Last year w\ 6 varieties they all really loaded up." [Bruce]
Okay, this issue was touched on but not answered in another thread in the Tomatillo topics. I think it was Craig who asked if anyone knew whether you need more than one variety to ensure good pollination and fruit production.
So, Bruce, you're implying that the more varieties of tomatilloes in the garden, the better production? How about several plants of one variety? Is there any information on that?
The reason I'm asking is that I've saved seeds from some store-bought tomatilloes and hope to get a decent return from a couple or three plants. What's my chances? I don't want to forfeit space that I could better use for tomatoes if I'm just spinnin' my wheels.
