I planted 4 Chef Jeff plants in Mid June (got them on sale), in 85% sun (100% in the afternoon). They took a while to start growing tall, but then took off by July. They made flowers all summer but nothing else. Recently I have seen a few giant lanterns ( I haven't counted but guess 5 per plant) and they are empty. It was our hottest and sunniest summer evah! I should have seen a tomatillo forest floor by now.

I checked the price of tomatillos in the grocery and they are currently selling for $3.99/lb. If they are generally available in the grocery during the winter (are they in season and shipped then?) I may give the roasting a try. What I have sampled wasn't a big hit with me, but roasted might win me over.
