100++ Tomatillo Vegetable Seeds (Physalis ixocarpa) Organic Mexican Husk Tomato

Description: The tomatillo, also known as the Mexican husk tomato, is a plant of the nightshade family bearing small, spherical and green or green-purple fruit of the same name. Tomatillos originated in Mexico and were cultivated in the pre-Columbian era. A staple of Mexican cuisine, they are eaten raw and cooked in a variety of dishes, particularly salsa verde (green sauce). The tomatillo is a perennial plant but is generally grown for agriculture each year as if it were an annual. Soil and climate requirementsIn general, tomatillo plants are tolerant to many different soil conditions. However, they do best in well-drained, sandy, fertile soil conditions with a pH between 5.5 and 7.3.[10] Tomatillo plants are cold sensitive.[11] They grow best at 25 to 32 °C (77 to 90 °F). Below 16 °C (61 °F), growth is very poor.[9] Tomatillo plants prefer full sun exposure and warm locations.[12] Seedbed requirement and sowing: Transplanting is the most common practice to plant tomatillo plants. Transplants are produced in greenhouses or in transplant beds. Germination occurs at 20 to 27 °C (68 to 81 °F). Transplanting occurs 6 to 8 weeks after seeding and when risk of frost is past. Transplants that were produced indoors need to harden off in a warm, sunny place for a few days before being planted outside. Direct outdoor seeding can only be done if no frost risk exists, and soil temperature is higher than 15 °C (59 °F). Direct outdoor seeding leads to shortening of the vegetation period. Due to its branching growing pattern, a single plant requires sufficient growing space. Tomatillos are typically grown in rows 0.7 to 1.6 m (2.3 to 5.2 ft) apart. Although tomatillo is a perennial plant, overwintering is difficult, so it is normally cultivated as an annual plant. Tomatillos are a great source of dietary fiber and are low in fat content. They're also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, niacin, potassium, manganese, and magnesium. Tomatillos contain a high level of fiber, that can help to improve digestion! One cup of tomatillos contains 2.6 grams of fiber-- this accounts for 10% of the daily fiber needs for women and 7% for men. 2. Tomatillos contain unique antioxidant phytochemicals that have been linked to anti-cancer properties.FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
