Are tomatillos a common food in the US? I'd barely heard of them until a friend from the US bought seeds and ended up passing them along to me since she had two children in three years and didn't have the time or energy to do the garden she'd originally planned.
Also, have you done cantelope and watermelon before? If so, do you have any advice on how to get them decently sized? I managed to grow both fruits to the size of baseballs, and then...they wouldn't grow any further. They were tasty, but tiny, and almost not worth the growing effort!
(Of course, this was better than previous years where they didn't produce a single fruit...)
