You haven't spelt tomatos wrong as far as Im concerned Lindy......thats exactly how they are spelt here and other parts of the world. Wink
I have some tomatillo seeds ready to be transplanted to the garden in a couple of weeks time. Discovered the joys of tomatillos a few years ago in mexican salsas and cant get enough of them and as they are rarely available for sale in NZ, I grow my own.
 I always have a can of chipotles in adobo open in my fridge too....looooove mexican food and tastes that can be fusioned somewhere. Smile

Lyndee, love those tomatillos and you're so right about the spelling.  We have lots of Canadian friends and they're always giving me a hard time about our spelling differences.  Enjoy your garden.  All I've planted so far have been bulbs for spring blooms.  I'm going to start an indoor herb garden as soon as I find the right kind of stand to put by the kitchen window.  I miss my fresh herbs. 
 
We're off to an estate sale and a couple of yard sales this early morn.....hope to find some treasures.  I always fantasize about finding a piece of crockery that's worth $20,000 or a necklace of rosecut diamonds or a forgetten piece of art.....the hunts on!! I think I've been watching too much Antiques Roadshow.
 
My cold is loosening up in my chest but it's still there and I don't feel as well today as I did yesterday.  This is getting real old.  I have to be well next week, too much going on, too many meetings and I don't want to be coughing and sneezing.
 
Lynn, no suggestions for you just a good morning to you.
 
Hope everyone's Saturday is glorious.  Lindy

Never having been particularly shy, I am diving into the deep end and joining the family post haste. I to relish (pun intended) husk tomatoes. This year a friend from South of the Border gave me a handful of seed for purple tomatillos...divine, simply divine. They are just a tad sweeter than "regulars" with a perfume that defines description, plus the color is more than just nice.

I shopped the WWW and found a source for seeds: http://www.tomatogrowers.com/tomatillos.htm

Que tengas un buen dia, Joan

Thanks for the site Joan.  I've seen the purple tomatillos but haven't tasted them.  I'm off to look at the site.  Lindy

I am, perversely, tempted to try the pineapple-like tomatillos.

Actually I'm seriously thinking about ordering the purple and the pineapple seeds.  I also found the Florida and Costuletto (sp) tomatoes that are 2 of the best ones I've ever ate.  Several years ago we planted 32 different tomatoe plants, all started from Tomatoe Growers seeds and all 32 plants survived and fruited.  We had such a great time trying all the different types.  I think Stan spent most of that summer tending his plants and I spent the summer trying to figure out what to do with a zillion tomatoes.  Our friends were overjoyed with our over abundance of tomatoes.
 
Neither one of us want to tend such a large garden again but I do want a small variety of vegetables this spring and summer.  Radishes of several varieties are a must, along with lettuces and my herbs.
 
I've been resting today and just putzing around.  I'm going to start dinner in awhile, read and off to bed early.  Still have the URI but it's much, much better.

i got to page 2, and then was tired, lol. I'm like buckeye, i haven't been on for awhile, bc
 sometimes ... i get scared, really scared.. when i hear things about Ra happening, for
instance, i never knew your jaw could be affected.
 I came back posted a little bit, but felt.. apart.. ignored and thats simply me being silly.. or not, lol.
Shugs death has shaken me, i missed out on a lot of her posts and getting to know her.
She was warm , caring and barely knew me.
 I DID get to go fly up from ca, to Spokane & Seattle, to visit both parents.
Lovely visit, and it was beautiful, esp the fall leafs in Seattle, all that rain.
 I came home, feeling alive, more energized.. been fighting depression very badly, this year.
Started on Embrel,  couple months ago..tonight i was told, medicaid/care .. sigh, didn't approve this last round..
 its weird, bc the Embrel is helping, i'm not hurting that much, not bad at all. Was able to walk a lot more then usual, meaning a block or so. I used the wheelchairs and have to say
ALASKAN AIRLINES, has the best wheelchair service!! They were GREAT!!
just for reference, if it helps anyone :).
 
Spokane, didn't hurt at all, just flying into Seattle, i could feel my joints aching, only there 3 days and just beautiful, country drives.
 
My problem is exhaustion and thats soo boring,... so I don't write as much and i just don't have the energy to post... and to read all the time... There are a lot of great people here, great post Snowowl, i've missed you, waving hi!
 Mentally, i'm fine, well maybe not, i don't know... the fatigue is depressing! lol and ack..
 i have tons of projects, i helped my care giver (and luckily friend).. help straighten up the house last night, needed lots of vicodin after!
  Life is pretty good, but man this fatigue/ exhaustion blows.. i'm in bed by nine and sorry, if i'm feeling sorry for myself, i'm more frustrated then anything.
 I wish everyone well, and good things. I do like this forum :)
Blessings joy
