Husk Cherry Tomatoes

Last year I posted about Husk Cherry Tomatoes. This plant is in the same family as Tomatillos, another plant that has husks growing around the fruit.

Husk Cherry Tomatoes grow on vines that run along the ground. So, when you harvest them, you have to get down on hands and knees get them. But, once you have picked them, you are in for a surprising treat. Husk Cherry Tomatoes have a sweet, tropical flavor like a mango or pineapple.

And, once you plant them, you will never have to plant them again. Husk Cherry Tomatoes easily reseed and you will see new plants sprout up in late spring/early summer. Let them grow and you'll be rewarded in August and September.
