Here's the rest of the story...

I accidentally gave my grandparent's a tomatillo plant along with their yearly supply of tomato and pepper plants. Every time I talked to them, they told me about this crazy "pepper" plant that had loads of blooms and no fruit. When I went to visit in early July, I saw the twin to my toma verde plant.

I dug it up, and rushed it home...out of the ground 3 hours. It died a few days after planting, but the bees worked it over enough so that I have a dozen or so fruit on my original plant.

Self-sterile is the word for them...next year I'll have 4 plants minimum!
