Sally--
I tried growing a atomatillo many years ago. It grew giantic! Stems sprawling everywhere...
It even had a few blooms...
Sadly--none of them became fruit. So--I pulled it up and tossed it.
later on--I learned from someone on DG--that there have to be 2 plants so they can cross-pollinate to get fruit. How is yours doing so far?
I will have several gigant Amaranth growing again. I am saving the biggest one for my front bed
like the 10' one I had the last 2 years.
The one I am saving is growing at the rate of 1/2" or more a day. Thesmsller seedlings
I potted up in a 6-pack. If anyone is interested--it Just plant it in any bed.
IF you have planted it on--as it grew on its own--it should be quite large by Swap time.
