I finally came back to follow up on this thread...sheesh.
I've never seen violet tomatillos before! Which kind are you growing?
Last summer I brought some seeds home and managed to get a few plants going, but I didn't start them early enough and didn't get enough fruit to make salsa with, which is what I really wanted.

I have a lot more tiny plants started now, and if I can just keep the g*d-d****d snails from eating all the seedlings before I can even plant them out, I might have a chance this year.
All of my green chile and serrano seeds seem to be duds, though.
