I plant 10 Purple De Milpa tomatillo seeds in a cup on April 15. By May 15 none of them have come up so I decide to plant the rest of the 28 seeds in the packet with the hope that I can get two to come up. Yep you got it. Three days after I plant the 28 seeds the original seeds start to germinate and three more days later so do the later seeds. I now have 4 seedlings from the first batch and 5 more from the second batch. I'll bet even more come up as time goes along. I just hope I have enough time left to get a few ripe.
