Thats exactly what i mean Veggie, I think we pamper the seeds too much. Smile

Agreed Vinny.Smile We try to control nature by creating artificial environments for seeds but Mother Nature knows best. If a seed wants to grow it will - but in its own time.

I no longer have any seed but because they are so prolific and you need 2 plants for fertilisation I know that seedlings will start popping up both where they grew last year and some fruit fell, and in the compost heap!

Well, this is frustrating as not a single tomatillo seedling has appeared this year. Normally I'm over run with them. I wonder if they become weaker or even sterile over time? They have been breeding back to themselves after all.
