Does anybody know where you can get Tomatillo seeds and is that how you spell it? I've looked through the (limited) collection of seed catalogues that I have here and even searched the internet to no avail. It's my own fault really, I watched that river cottage programme with Hugh wassis name and decided I would like to have a go next year, easily led that I am Thanking you in anticipation, Paulfrompompey.

If you've got other seeds you don't need (apparantly some people get carried away and buy way too many seed than they can possibly grow ) then you could offer them up as a swap for some tomatillo seeds in the appropriate section of a forum like Allotments4All, or River Cottage, or Grow Your Own, or Downsizer. A4A is the most active one... Back to top Paulfrompompey Joined: 05 Aug 2006 Posts: 162 Location: Back in Pompey Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:28 pm    Post subject: Thanks Nigel, Thanks Lisa. I was looking in the wrong place, obviously! Hiya Debcat, they are spicey...tomato..sort of wrapped in leaves...type things. Up till now I've only seen them on THAT programme. I'll try anything for a laugh Back to top milkmaid Joined: 19 Apr 2005 Posts: 7366 Location: isle of lewis Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 6:29 pm    Post subject: Back to top Paulfrompompey Joined: 05 Aug 2006 Posts: 162 Location: Back in Pompey Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 7:45 am    Post subject: Thanks Lisa, I'm going to have a look on the A4A website.
