   IMPORTANT:  tomatillos do not self pollinate.  To get any fruit,   
   you have to have two or more plants.  And put them close enough   
   together so they can pollinate each other.  I put mine two feed apart.   
   You will also notice that they will branch into each other.  I presume   
   it is for pollination.
