Yesterday's tomatillo harvest. This is probably about five pounds once husked and cleaned. #gardening #salsaverde

It's the season where chile roasters are popping up in parking lots and the tomatillo plants are going nuts. I scored some fresh-roasted Hatch chiles and harvested over nine pounds of tomatillos from the garden this morning, so it was a Make Salsa Verde day. I remain deeply grateful for my old-fashioned house, which has a kitchen that can be sealed off from the rest of the house, keeping the water-bath canning from heating up the entire place.

My tomatillos (5 bought plants, the rest volunteers that have self-bred in the garden) produce tomatillos ranging from partially purple to yellow as well as the usual green shades. Which reminds me, I meant to ask @thebiologistisn - have you had luck with your tomatillo breeding resulting in a purple that's good for salsa verde?
