this batch of tomatillos reminds me of the time I was sitting with friends in their back yard and I noticed their grass looked odd pic.twitter.com/K8aOPHKbZN

I asked about this and it turned out that they had fertilized their lawn using compost from the kitchen, and this compost had included a substantial amount of tomatillo debris, and the compost had not gotten hot enough to kill the seeds

This story and your photo make me, who has spent years trying to find somewhere to buy a single kilo of fresh tomatillos in Sydney, sad. :-(

the friends in question live in England, and face similar problems, so they grow them in the garden

Did you tell them to run a sanitizer on their compost next time?

These sound like amazing friends. Who doesn't want constant salsa? Raw. Boiled. Grilled. It's all good.
