Some got to be about the size of golf balls. My tomatillos last year weren’t ready until into September, if memory serves correctly. Some got to be about the size of golf balls.

(Actually, there are times when the husks don't turn--I think the bursting out is more important.)

Our lettuce has been doing great here too, and I've had the most successful cilantro plant this year ever (usually I put it in and it bolts as soon as I turn my back). How do I know when my tomatillos are ready? I will post a picture of what I've got in a bit. Mmm…broccoli…we just started getting some at the market this week.

My Seattle tomatoes have only just started to set fruit. We didn't get any serious sunny, hot weather until July, so we're going to need hot sunny days through September, I think, to catch up. The Ananas Noire, typically gigantic and prolific, are still just flowers at this point. I have some insurance--22 plants in the ground in case we had a small harvest. We've had a bumper lettuce crop though, and the winter broccoli is still producing when they would normally finish and go to seed in June. Nice! Jealous.
