AJgeo · June 12, 2007

I live in Columbus, OH and I am growing a tomatillo plant I started from seed. I am only growing one because I have had too many fruit in the past with two plants. However, after reading the conflicting available information on tomatillo pollination, I am concerned that I will not have fruit set due to the apparent poor or complete lack of self-pollination. So, I would rather be safe than sorry. I cannot find seedlings at any of the local nurseries. So, if anyone is growing tomatillos in the Columbus, OH area, I would like to take a cutting or two if possible. I am starting two more seeds, but it will probably be late in the season before I began to get flowers. So, if you can help me out, drop me a pm. Thanks!
