Tomatillos

I just wanted to show a few pictures of my tomatillo plants today. They are forming buds already! Here is one of the plants and a tiny bud:





The bud almost looks like a tiny, papery balloon almost like the husk that grows on the ripe fruits. I heard that you need two tomatillo plants to get any tomatillos, because the plants are self-infertile and can't pollinate other flowers on the same plant. I have exactly two plants, but one has no buds yet. Hopefully it will catch up to its brother soon!
